Time Person of the Year

Mark Zuckerberg has been named the Person of the Year for 2010 by Time Megazine.


Well, as usual, there were a lot of criticisms for the choice made and to be honest, I'm not his greatest fan as well.


However, I guess the best man wins. He is indeed very talented.


Sometimes, we forget that he is from Harvard and being able to create Facebook which has created a worldwide phenomenon linking more than half a billion people together, it is indeed a fantasy.


A fantasy of social network.


There are so many talented computing students out there from Princeton, Harvard, Imperial, MIT but yet no one came close to creating a phenomenal product that could link so many people together.


But Mark did that. Of course, he admitted that he made all the mistakes that an entrepreneur can possibly make but at the end of the day, he knows it himself. He is changing for the better and is constantly trying to make life better for anyone.


He has promised to donate half of his wealth to charity and that is not something everyone is willing to do. Warren Buffett and Bill Gates have been trying their best to gather a lot of billionaires but a lot of them refused.


Being only at the age of 26 and already being so sensible and talented, he definitely deserves the recognition. Yes, he encroached into our privacy moments and even sold the information to advertisers before but at least now he repented. He promised to not betray our trust anymore. Whether that is true or not is not important because to be honest, once you step into the world of Internet, you should already be prepared to sacrifice your privacy. Even if Mark does not betray your privacy needs, someone else will.


Yep, so all in all, we should not condemning him because he is talented. We should celebrate the fact that he created Facebook and congratulate him instead!
