Mark Zuckerberg has been named by Vanity Fair to be the most influential man on the face of the earth. That’s right – ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH. Suck it, non-hyperbole. You just got your face knocked three rows back by Vanity Fair.
Mark Zuckerberg, for those of you blissfully hiding under a granite deposit and are unawares of the weird politics of internet start-ups, is the man who founded Facebook for a variety of terrible reasons – including as a resource to compare the appearances of his female classmates to bovines. It of course, caught on like wildfire, and now we’re stuck with it as the new social networking site du jour – and it will never collapse like MySpace before it.
So Vanity Fair was making a list of all the influential businesspeople impacting the world around them, and Zuckerberg happened to land at the top of the list – despite a reputation-shattering film that’s about to be released, multiple lawsuits about privacy settings, a bombed tech conference during the year, and a voice that sounds remarkably like Kermit the Frog.
But hey, any publicity is good publicity. Following up Zuckerberg is Steve Jobs. Really? Shouldn’t Steve Jobs usurp that? You can hold Apple products. You can’t hold Facebook.
Lord knows, people have tried.
