10 People Who Don’t Matter June 22, 2006

Posted by Rita Desai in Other, Technology

Along with it’s list of 50 People Who Matter Now, Business 2.0 has also released its list of 10 People Who Don’t Matter.

The former corporate A-listers include:

  • Steve Ballmer, CEO Microsoft
  • Jeffrey Citron, Chairman & Chief Strategist, Vonage
  • Reed Hastings, CEO Netfix
  • Ken Kutaragi, President, Sony Computer Entertainment
  • Warren Lieberfarb, Senior Consultant, HD-DVD Promotion Group
  • Rob Malda, Slashdot.org
  • Arun Sarin, CEO, Vodafone
  • Jon Schwartz, CEO, Sun Microsystems
  • Linus Torvalds, Creator, Linux
  • Mark Zuckerberg, Founder, Facebook

Business 2.0 editors said that this list was composed of, ”people whose power had peaked, whose influence had waned, or whose true importance we felt was overstated.” 

Here’s to the hope that those executive perks help ease the sting of having the media inform you (and everyone else in the world) that you don’t really matter.

    I’d agree with most of this list, but Linus Torvalds? Before most people had ever heard of Linux, he was delegating tasks (and rather effectively), so the argument that it’s “out of control” seems a bit ignorant.

    Noted. We will continue to heart Linus.
