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.
