Love the way that Rick Astley has been included…
2 aj batac // Jul 9, 2008 at 4:39 pm
No FriendFeed?
3 shel israel // Jul 9, 2008 at 4:42 pm
I’m flattered to be included on this list. I’d send you a photo, by I don’t seem to see an email address to send it to.
4 chris // Jul 9, 2008 at 6:51 pm
I’m very suprised that Kevin Rose (digg.com, revision 3, pownce)didn’t make the list.
5 Corvida // Jul 9, 2008 at 8:18 pm
Thanks for putting me on the list.
I’m also apart of ReadWriteWeb and the Grand Effect Network. Sarah Perez is also part of the Grand Effect Network.
Tamar Weinberg of techipedia, Amanda Gravel of Social Honeycomb, and Chrissie Brodigan should be on the list too. They rock!
6 Dan Thornton // Jul 9, 2008 at 9:09 pm
Hmmm, I’m sure Kevin Rose was on the list at some point – not sure how he got dropped off, but will ensure he’s back first thing tomorrow, along with the great suggestions re FriendFeed, Tamar Weinberg, Amanda Gravel and Chrissie Brodigan….
7 Corvida // Jul 9, 2008 at 9:44 pm
Oh and please don’t forget Wayne Sutton. He rules! http://wayne-sutton.com
8 Dave Martin // Jul 9, 2008 at 9:46 pm
Cool short list. Would suggest adding Kurt Hanson (AccuTunes & RAIN), a guy on the leading edge since the last century.
9 Doc Searls // Jul 10, 2008 at 12:12 am
Hmm… You want the guy who said Web 2.0 is “what we’ll name the next crash” on the list?
10 Dan Thornton // Jul 10, 2008 at 10:23 am
OK…adding Wayne Sutton and Kurt Hanson…
And we definitely want the guy who said Web 2.0 is the name of the next crash….Personally I think that should probably give you a headstart!
11 veronica // Jul 11, 2008 at 12:08 am
Hey there! Thanks for including me. There’s only one “L” in my last name though
12 Dan Thornton // Jul 11, 2008 at 9:41 am
Point taken…I’ll claim it was an erroneous typo and fix it asap!
