Mark Zuckerberg Is Time’s “Person of the Year”

Barbara | December 15, 2010

In a move that will encourage more than a few college students to put their thinking caps on in pursuit of “the next big thing,” Time has crowned Mark Zuckerberg as its “Person of the Year.”

In case you’ve been living under a rock, or are buried under more college applications than you can count, Zuckerberg is the founder of the one and only Facebook. Of course, if you’ve seen the Golden Globe-nominated movie The Social Network, you’ll know that there are more than a few questions regarding whether or not Zuckerberg was the sole genius behind what is undoubtedly one of the most popular websites in the world. Still, kudos to you, Zuckerberg.

But allow me to be shallow for a moment: I’ve seen much more flattering photos of Zuckerberg. Not to mention the fact that the charming and handsome Jesse Eisenberg was cast as Zuckerberg in the movie. The one that Time chose for its cover makes him appear a bit…alienish. His green eyes are remarkable, but his blank stare gives me the creeps. But perhaps my coworker put it best: “Maybe he is an alien. He does seem to be trying to take over the world.”
