Time Names Mark Zuckerberg 'Person of the Year'

Time magazine announced on Wednesday that Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is its Person of the Year. Incidentally, Zuckerberg, who is 26, is one of the youngest people to ever receive that honor; the initial honor was bestowed on aviator Charles Lindberg when he was25. Of course, the film about Zuckerberg -- The Social Network -- is on many film critics lists of best films in 2010.

Time has made some lousy picks over the years -- as in 2006 when anyone who used interactive content was selected and so You became Person of the Year (I should really put that on my resume!). Conservatives are still livid that Time selected Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev as Man of the Decade over the likes of Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher and John Paul II. And the computer was Machine of the Year in 1982? Was that for the TRS80, the Apple II C or the Commodore 64?
