That’s as close to the final list as possible – although if there’s a glaring omission and you can make a case for it and email me a picture asap, there’s still a chance for inclusion.
Love the way that Rick Astley has been included…
No FriendFeed?
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.
I’m very suprised that Kevin Rose (digg.com, revision 3, pownce)didn’t make the list.
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!
Oh and please don’t forget Wayne Sutton. He rules! https://socialwayne.com/
Cool short list. Would suggest adding Kurt Hanson (AccuTunes & RAIN), a guy on the leading edge since the last century.
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….
Hmm… You want the guy who said Web 2.0 is “what we’ll name the next crash” on the list? 🙂
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!
Hey there! Thanks for including me. There’s only one “L” in my last name though 🙂
Point taken…I’ll claim it was an erroneous typo and fix it asap!
