Who are the people who define the Internet?

By Mark O’Neill

I came across an interesting list called “15 People Who Changed The Internet” and all the obvious characters are on there – Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Sir Tim Berners-Lee… but the list got me wondering who is NOT on there.

As with any product, it’s one thing to invent the Internet but it takes a lot of people to develop it and take it to the next level. We’re on Web 2.0 at the moment, and we are well on our way to Web 3.0, so I find it very difficult to believe that we can condense “People Who Changed The Internet” down to a nice neat list of 15.

So since we’re all geeks here, who would YOU nominate for the list? Who would YOU say is a major mover and shaker online? Do you agree with the list? Who would you kick off and why? Who would you put on, and why?
