Time's 2010 Person of the Year | MetaFilter: "Zuckerberg's vision of the Internet is different from yours. (Most of yours, anyway.) You see the Internet as an open frontier where literally anything can and will happen. He sees the frontier, too, but not as the endpoint that I think a lot of you do. For him, the huge open place is a space to build new hierarchies that have never existed before. (Hierarchy isn't the right word, though, because on Facebook everything is flat.) Facebook is a system designed to bring people socially together, regardless of what social things they're doing, regardless of if they happen online or offline."
