The Business 2.0 Magazine recently released their 50 people that matter an also 10 people who don't matter. Now the first person who matters is "You the consumer" now basically this is a load of bull first off your writing an article about 50 "People" who matter so I would like to read about 50 people. They have other entries in there besides that are a little weird too "The Emerging Global Middle Class" again not a person, but a group of countries and again no one cares, "The New Oil Desposts" now this one im pretty sure a lot of people would like these guys to burn in hell (no one is happy about gas prices why make them matter?), and then the usual Steve Jobs (apple), Bill Gates (for the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation), and the co-founders of Google. The things I do like on this list are Stewart Butterfield and Caterina Fake (the founders of Flickr the online photo sharing community), Kevin Rose (founder of Digg.com), Jimmy Wales (creator of Wikipedia), Janus Friis and Niklas Zennström (founders of Skype), and Chad Hurley and Steven Chen (co-founders of Youtube). the full list is available at http://money.cnn.com/magazines/busin...oplewhomatter/

Now on to the 10 people who dont matter. I only have one complaint about this list and that is Linus Torvald the creator of Linux is one of them im sure he has done more than Blizzard entertainment or "The Pre-Internet Dinosaurs", which includes Larry Ellison (Oracle), Paul Otellini (Intel), and Michael Dell (Dell) (so a guy who doesnt stick to promises, nothing against intel, and a guy that makes cheap computers with pre-installed crap on the windows). I do however agree with their decision of Vonage, Sony, Slashdot, and Facebook on that list. Vonage is voip which is now taxed if you call a now voip phone, and there are open-source alternatives to it. Sony is over all having a bad year PS3 is still not out, they are making outrageous claims like it will replace the PC, and BluRay is not that big of an innovation for DVD's. Slashdot is old news now its used to be what Digg is today. As for Facebook I like the privacy, but it cannot rival the ammount of users and traffic produced from Myspace.
