Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is the Time Magazine, the "Person of the Year. The magazine recognized at the 26-year-olds on Wednesday awarded the annual title because he "has changed our everyday life" with Facebook, as editor Richard Stengel wrote. With 600 million users, Facebook is now reaching a tenth of the world's population and have become the "connective tissue" for social relations.

"Zuckerberg a head of state in the T-shirt." Facebook's chief sat down in the final selection by including against Wikileaks-founder Julian Assange. The "Man of the Year" - since 1999, the "Person of the Year" - is determined by the magazine since 1927. A year ago, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke was on the cover.
