Chisinau (Moldova.ORG) -- Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg was named on Wednesday Time magazine's "person of the year".
At his 26 years, Zuckerberg, is the second youngest person named to the cover of Time's ritual annual issue. In 1927, American aviator Charles Lindbergh was Time's first and the youngest „man of the year” at the age of 25.
Richard Stengel, Time magazine's managing editor said in a statement: "For connecting more than half-a-billion people and mapping the social relations among them (something that has never been done before); for creating a new system of exchanging information that has become both indispensable and sometimes a little scary; and finally, for changing how we all live our lives in ways that are innovative and even optimistic, Mark Elliot Zuckerberg is Time's 2010 Person of the Year".
