Although the magazine’s online poll resulted in an easy win for Julian Assange with 382,026 votes (with Turkish prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan a distant second with 233,640 votes), to no one’s surprise they ignored their own poll and gave this utterly pointless marketing gimmick title to Mark Zuckerberg, who came in 10th with a measly 18,353 votes.
Over at Saturday Night Live, we get Assange’s reaction.
Time magazine believes that Mark Zuckerberg had the most influence on events in 2010. Facebook has over 500m users, employes more than one thousand seven hundred people and was established in only 2004.
Already a billionaire at 26, he was also the subject of the film- Social Network that charted face books rise.
Richard Stengel, Time Magazines managing editor said Mr Zuckerberg’s social networking service was ‘transforming the way we live our lives every day’.
It’s certainly true for me. I for one have visited facebook several times today already!
Why should they give it to an accused rapist and security threat to the entire industrialized world.
Besides, Sadam Hussein isn’t available anymore.
