"For connecting more than half a billion people and mapping the social relations among them, for creating a new system of exchanging information and for changing how we live our lives, Mark Elliot Zuckerberg is TIME's 2010 Person of the Year." —TIME

At twenty-six, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is just a year older than TIME's first Person of the Year — Charles Lindbergh, chosen in 1926. Zuckerberg is the same age as Queen Elizabeth, named Person of the Year in 1952.

The four runners-up were: The Tea Party, Afghan President Hamid Karzai, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and The Chilean Miners.

Could the magazine have chosen a more unflattering photo of Z-berg? Just sayin'.
