His site plays a massively influential role - for better or for worse - in where attention goes with regard to technology and start-ups. To dismiss him as a mere "valley rep" is at best short-sighted, at worst mean-spirited and ignorant. Gabe is not a “minimike”.

No matter how long (or short) a list is it won't please everyone. Michele Pat

I also think this is a list of 'doers' (entrepreneurs and leaders and managers) not 'commentators' or 'reporters'. Yes I know Huffington is more of the latter than the former but her empire grew far more and is read more widely than just Valley issues. I am just sayin'.. Pat:

They write about things that are of no consequence to the vast majority of the people who use the web. By contrast, the HuffPo has broken stories that are of real significance to the world at large. Brin, Page and Schmidt have transformed how people interact with the web, Matt Mullenweg has made online publishing ubiquitous, and so on. The list might be flawed, but it's an enormous stretch to put Arrington in the same league. Now by the same token I agree that there are plenty of people on the list who should not be there, and also that BusinessWeek is also lacking in influence these days...
