T3 has released its second annual list of the technology world’s most influential people.
The top 100 were determined by 8 judges whom themselves are movers and shakers in the tech industry.
First place is shared by 2 people and they are no other than Sergey Brin and Larry Page, co-founders of Google, an undisputed champion.
What can we say? Google is doing exceptionally well notably with its brand value and upcoming exciting products.
Twitter and Facebook’s founders also made it to the top 10.
Check out the complete list below.
How did they decide who made the list?
An explanation from T3:
“We got together with eight expert judges, each representing different areas of the tech industry to scour the consumer tech world for the people who bring the most influence to bear on the gadgets we all buy.
We looked at the company each person represented, their profits and how many times they’d appeared in the news this year. Each person’s Twitter account was analysed and Google search results counted; whether they managed to create a whole new market for their product, or wrote such cutting prose that a manufacturer’s wares ceased to sell.”
Some Thoughts
With part of the measurement based solely on Twitter influence and not on the other social media sites, the results may not be all that accurate.
If Facebook’s 300 million users were part of the matrix, would Mark Zuckerberg take over Evan Williams’ second place?
Nonetheless, it is a pretty interesting list made up of distinguished people who have contributed greatly to the technology world.
