PC World’s 50 most important web peeps – here’s 5

PC World, a global computer magazine, has recently named some of the most influential people on the internet. Net heads, here’s the top five of a list of those persons who move and shake the internet; we’ve arranged them from the fifth to the first for emphasis.

5. Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia – Admit it:  whatever piece of information that you get/cite, trivial or otherwise, often  comes from Wikipedia. It’s even been cited in more than 100 US court decisions since
2004.

 4. Mike Morhaime, President of Blizzard Entertainment – Some say that there are only two MMO’s: WoW, and everything else. Eight million people (and still counting) plus a chance to obtain the Blade of Eternal Justice put this guy at number 4.

3. Bram Cohen, Co founder of BitTorrent – This math and programming whiz kid put up BitTorrent, a way to download large files (like movies) by sharing the burden across hardware and bandwidth.

2. Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple –  DRM-free music and internet browsing through iPhone puts him on top – again.

1. Eric Schmidt, Larry Page, and Sergey Brin, Executives of Google – The most trafficked site on the internet is bound to influence internet users the most.
