Mark Zuckerberg Founder Of Facebook Is Named Time’s “Person of the Year”

by

Since 1927, Time Magazine has been naming a “Person Of The Year”.

This year, Time named Mark Zuckerberg the founder of Facebook as the Time’s Person of the Year.

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 all live our lives, Mark Elliot Zuckerberg is Time’s 2010 Person of the Year”.

“”Zuckerberg is part of the last generation of human beings who will remember life before the Internet”

Half of all Americans have a Facebook account and 1 out of 12 people on the planet have a Facebook Account.

Of course the story of Facebook was also told in the movie The Social Network which also came out this year.

The movie, The Social Network also was a winner, as it was nominated for 6 Golden Globe awards yesterday including best drama.

Also Facebook was named this year in a survey as the best company to work for.

    “500,000 Face.Book users via Remote Participation” to the ICANN Events in San Francisco 2011

    All 500,000,000 FaceBook .COM users are not using Face.Book <<< New TLD

    All 500,000,000 FaceBook .COM users are not likely interested in ICANN minutia

    @Big Lie Society,

    I looked at the map on your site – it’s interesting, I’ll give you that.

    Block 24 says “Cable TV”…is that for all cable tv providers to share or was it allocated to just one company?

    find “dabigliesociety” on twitpic.com
    there you will find some more “self-explanatory” images.

    a rare few individuals, biglie is one, rs is another, who have seen the internet numbers and domain systems unfold since the beginning, and have been bold enough to “call it like they see it” regarding the history behind what has given rise to “the domain industry”.

    i for one appreciate their candor, even if the venting may get a wee bit carried away sometimes. given what they have had to witness, some cynicism, emotion and even bias is to be expected.

    if biglie wrote “blog” articles, i’d read them. but maybe that’s just not his style.

    ”Zuckerberg is part of the last generation of human beings who will remember life before the Internet”

    I’ve always believed this dynamic is what keeps opportunities in the internet world still pretty wide open. I entered my 20’s in the late 1990’s and registered my first domain back then, hoping to cash in on the .com bubble with a few buddies and a decent idea (‘decent’ in hindsight. At the time, it was the greatest idea ever). Didn’t happen, but from that experience, one thing that became so abundantly clear was just how different consuming patters were in this ’emerging technology’ in terms of those for whom internet was a wholly relevant factor in their lives and those for whom internet was just a peripheral thing, kinda like a DVD player.

    Marketers have always known that you don’t target John and Jane in the same way, you don’t target the factory worker and the lawyer in the same way, you don’t target a tween and a retiree in the same way and those finer points of strategic advertising wizardry all seem to apply to the web no different, but unlike TV, radio or print ads, but there seems to be a more fundamental categorization in play- those who are “of the internet” and those who aren’t. That is to say, those who have developed their consuming patters with the web as the most relevant presence and those who haven’t. Obviously, age plays the biggest role in determining this but still, today, I meet kids in their 20’s who haven’t ever made an online purchase- and I don’t live in Appalachia.

    The curve we all need to get ahead of is when the most desirable demographics with the most spending power are suddenly just as likely to have 4chan on their toolbar as they are Amazon. I give it another 10 years before “Generation I” hits their stride. That’s when marketing on the net sheds its present skin and transforms into something entirely different. Add to this the advances in technology we’re about to make, etc- it’s a wild ride.

    I don’t know if the face of social networking is etched in stone quite yet, but I do believe it’s going to play a colossal role in all of this, if for no reason other than it allows ads to be targeted much, much better than random searches of unknown origins.

    Wouldn’t you prefer just to do your own blog?

    SO you can discuss what’s on your mind

    Exactly and his shill Think can go there and read them all day because this is a joke now and makes reading posts here unbearable.
