(CNN) -- Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is Time magazine's Person of the Year, and, predictably, the internet has some thoughts about it.
Many in the tech blogosphere say it's hard to argue with the Time distinction for the man who steered the social-networking juggernaut to more than half a billion users.
"[I]t's clear that Facebook has, in fact, been at the center of electrifying change in the way that we communicate with the people around us and share information," wrote Caroline McCarthy of CNET. "And if Zuckerberg's relentlessly hands-on approach with Facebook -- which seems to have grown even closer and more obvious over the years -- is any sign, this could not have happened without the young, flip-flops-clad CEO".
Others cited all the attention Facebook received this year for its privacy flaps, its efforts to spread its features to other areas of the Web and the hit movie "The Social Network".
But not all the chatter was positive.
Ed Morrissey of the conservative political blog Hot Air said he was "underwhelmed". CNN
