Time Persons of the Year [Update]

Time magazine announced its Persons of the Year award and the honor goes to Bill and Melinda Gates and U2’s Bono.

For being shrewd about doing good, for rewiring politics and re-engineering justice, for making mercy smarter and hope strategic and then daring the rest of us to follow, Bill and Melinda Gates and Bono are Time’s Persons of the Year.

Last year’s Person of the Year was George Bush. In 2003, the “American Solider” was honored.

Update: Steve Jobs didn’t win but was recognized as one of the “people who mattered.”
