I could do without Mark Zuckerberg (Chris DeWolf or Tom Anderson of MySpace would have had a bigger impact). Kevin Rose? eeeh... For the techies maybe. What's with Jerry Yang being at the bottom of the food chain there at #13? Sure Yahoo isn't what it once was, but they blazed some serious trails.

Now granted, AOL seems a moot point now, but nearly 20 years ago, it was the face of the Internet before there really was a "WWW" and served as the Internet on-ramp for millions of people who might've never tried it otherwise.

I would take off Larry Page for being a multi billionaire and still not being able to dress with style. 2. Mark Zuckerberg??? What the hell! FaceBook and myspace may have changed the Internet but they certainly didn't make it a better place. 3. Kevin Rose of Digg. Same as the facebook guy. I can live without Digg. I actually don't like Digg anyways. OMG, this list sucks!!!!
