The 50 Most Important People on the Web
Kelly Steele
Wow. This is impressive.
PC World has come out with its "50 Most Important People on the Web" list. Here's the gist:
So who's making the biggest impact online? We considered hundreds of the Web's most noteworthy power brokers, bloggers, brainiacs, and entrepreneurs to figure out whose contributions are shaping the way we use the Web.Of the 50 most important people, exactly one is an elected official:
29. Ron Wyden, U.S. Senator, Oregon(The head of the FCC is the only other person in government on the list.)Oregon's senior U.S. Senator, a Democrat, has long ranked as one of Capitol Hill most influential voices on technology issues. During his tenure, Wyden has authored or co-authored the Science and Technology Emergency Mobilization Act, the Cyber Security Research and Development Act, and the controversial CAN-SPAM Act. (Hey, they can't all be winners.) More recently, Wyden has introduced a bill called the Internet Nondiscrimination Act, which would prevent telecom companies from charging more for delivering content faster.
Kudos and many thanks for your work Senator.
