Mark Zuckerberg has transformed our idea of a social network with a highly addictive platform that many complain about but continue to fully utilize it for numerous purposes. The youngest billionaire most recently became the second youngest person to the Time Magazine’s Person Of The Year. And I am flabbergasted!

His social network has grown from being a college centric social network to become the largest online network connecting over 500 million users. The net worth of the company is over $33.7 Billion and has already given Hollywood a great story to make a movie on (The Social Network, 2010). That’s for the entire brand, Mark Zuckerberg, a Harvard dropout is worth a a staggering $6.9 billion for a 26 year old.

The reason he has been selected is totally justified, at least in my opinion. Millions are connected through the Internet, the way Facebook truly connects us is nothing short of phenomenal.

The Wikileaks sex files: How two one-night stands sparked a worldwide hunt for Julian Assange

A winter morning in backwoods Scandinavia and the chime of a church bell drifts across the snowbound town of Enkoping. Does it also toll for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange?

Today, this small industrial centre, 40 miles west of Stockholm, remains best-known — if known at all — as the birthplace of the ­adjustable spanner.But if extradition proceedings involving ­Britain are successful, it could soon be rather more celebrated — by the U.S. government at least — as the place where Mr Assange made a ­catastrophic error.

Here, in a first-floor flat in a dreary apartment block, the mastermind behind the leak of more than 250,000 classified U.S. diplomatic cables this month slept with a female admirer whom he had just met at a seminar. She subsequently made a complaint to police.As a result, Assange, believed to be in hiding in England, faces a criminal prosecution and ­possibly jail. Last night, a European Arrest ­Warrant was given by Interpol to Scotland Yard.

The Stockholm police want to question him regarding the possible rape of a woman and separate allegations from another Swedish admirer, with whom he was having a concurrent fling. But there remains a huge question mark over the evidence. Many people believe that the 39-year-old ­Australian-born whistleblower is the victim of a U.S. government dirty tricks campaign. They argue that the whole squalid affair is a sexfalla, which translates loosely from the Swedish as a ‘honeytrap’. One thing is clear, though: Sweden’s complex rape laws are central to the story.
