Time's Person Of the Year Takes Cues From Facebook

Facebook Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg's nomination for Time's 2010 Person of the Year might be less significant than the fact that readers get to vote on the 25 nominees, and the most popular nominees have used social networking to build up support.

The once venerable Time magazine is taking a cue from Facebook in more ways than one.

Facebook Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg‘s nomination for Time’s 2010 Person of the Year might be a tad less significant than the fact that readers get to vote on the 25 nominees. And you can opt to get notified on Facebook whether the person you vote for wins the annual award. Plus, social networking has definitely helped boost the popularity of the folks getting the most votes on Time.com.

As of this posting, Zuckerberg ranks number ten, while Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert together hold the top spot.
