Found something interesting on UK online publication, Silicon.com. Agenda Setters is a poll which aims to identify "the driving forces in the tech industry." There is a Top 50 list and autobiographies of the business leaders, technologists, entrepreneurs, media people who are part of the list are available on the site.
The top 3 were Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg (who's only 23 years old!!!), Apple CEO Steve Jobs and Google CEO Eric Schmidt. Interestingly, there's no one from Microsoft who made it to the top even, or even the top 20.
Here are the 2007 top 10 most influential people in the tech industry are:
1. Mark Zuckerberg, CEO, Facebook
2. Steve Jobs, CEO, Apple
3. Eric Schmidt, CEO, Google
4. John Chambers, CEO, Cisco
5. Ashley Highfield, BBC technologist
6. Nicholas Negroponte, laptop creator
7. Niklas Zennström, former CEO, Skype
8. Diane Greene, VMware president
9. Jonathan Ive, Apple chief designer
10. Viviane Reding, European commissioner
Check out the complete list here.
