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.
