Recently, Time awarded it's 2010 Person of the Year to Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's co-founder and CEO. This award is usually given to people who are really hugely influential to events around the world.
Tech titans don't usually win this award. Zuckerberg is only the third person from the tech industry to be given this award, the first two being Jeffrey Bezos of Amazon.com and Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft.
If you're a one person committee for this award, who would you rather give this award to?
While I am no Apple fanboy, I believe Steve Jobs could have been recognized at least once during his 34 year career in the tech industry.

I think it's all right for Mark Zuckerberg to be awarded Person of the Year. I believe Facebook has really changed the way people connect with one another. It has connected billions of people. For me, it connected me to many of my long lost friends and classmates even since kindergarten & gradeschool. Teachers too. I've heard stories of families separated and brought back together because of Facebook. It's also useful for other stuff like school, work, social events, and so on. In my opinion, Facebook is revolutionary.
I do believe, however, that aside from the popularity and usefulness of Facebook, the movie "The Social Network" could have added to the hype.

Well I don't believe the mark should get the award because he need to get his techs to work on the problem that it have between zynga and facebook. They don't claim responsibility.
If any one should get it, it sould be the unsung heros. Some one we don't know at all.
