This has been a very busy and exciting year for Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg. This year alone, the already massive social networking site reached 500 Million members, Zuckerberg donated $100 Million to Newark Public Schools, Zuckerberg was interviewed by Diane Sawyer, Katie Couric, Oprah, and others, and the long awaited and highly controversial movie, The Social Network came out in theaters. But all of this seems to be just the beginning as Zuckerberg was named Person of the Year, this week, according to Time Magazine.
A Closer Look at Mark Zuckerberg: Then and Now
Facebook underwent a massive overhaul recently and Zuckerberg also went through a huge transformation himself. In just a few short months it seems as if Zuckerberg has transformed from an awkward, camera shy guy into this iconic man, just named Person of the Year.
But as I mentioned, Zuckerberg was not always so calm, cool and collected- as you can clearly see in this video interview which took place just six short months ago:
Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, was put on the spot during an interview this past June and began sweating profusely on stage. The interviewers had to convince him to take off his hoodie because the sweat was literally dripping off his face as the young CEO underwent intense questioning over Facebook's shady privacy issues.
Zuckerberg's recent interview with Katie Couric revealed a more relaxed, but still slightly awkward CEO. And just weeks later, Zuckerberg is being named Person of the Year.

How do you feel about Zuckerberg being named Time's Person of the Year? Does he deserve such an honorable title or was the title robbed from WikiLeaks Founder, Julian Assange?
