Mark Elliot Zuckerberg as anticipated by many is the cover page of the Year-end review special edition issue of TIME magazine as the 2010 Person of the year after only 5 years in the business.
Lev Grossman of Time wrote this to further explain why Mark is Time’s best pick for that prestigious commendation. “For connecting more than half a billion people and mapping the social relations among them (something that has never been done before); for creating a new system of exchanging information that has become both indispensable and sometimes a little scary; and finally, for changing how we all live our lives in ways that are innovative and even optimistic, Mark Elliot Zuckerberg is TIME’s 2010 Person of the Year.”
Mark is the man and mind behind the successful Social Networking site which is the “Facebook”. From launching Facebook at his dorm at Harvard University, then renting a small house to serve as office in Palo Alto California in 2004, and transferred to a huge village-like area that have more than 1000 employees from all the countries in the world, speaking different languages to accommodate all Facebook users all over the world.
Mark’s quick rise to becoming famous and a big time billionaire at the age of 26 is one of a kind in the history. Not only that, he is an excellent exemplar that skills sets apart a degree holder man in a tux to a college drop-out.
When asked about the birth of Facebook, the American computer genius has this to say. “It's not because of the amount of money. For me and my colleagues, the most important thing is that we create an open information flow for people. Having media corporations owned by conglomerates is just not an attractive idea to me.”
Indeed, he is not after for money because he is a certified philanthropist as he recently signed to “Giving Pledge” to give majority of his wealth to charity.
He is truly a person that everybody can look up to.
