Even though it isn't the Nobel Peace Prize, I always saw Time's POTY as someone who did something noble, courageous, selfless, or extraordinary. Being a shrewd business man coming up with a billion dollar idea at the right time isn't any of these things. He's just a successful capitalist (and although this is not a bad thing, it doesn't merit awards either). This reminds me of when Mother Teresa and Lady Di died on the same day. Guess who go 95% of the media's attention? I'm sure Diane did some charitable things but she was a little league rookie compared to Mother Teresa.
I think Zuckerberg should share the honor with Al Gore. After all, Al invented the internet that made social media a hit.
