We gathered around 200 potential names and queried them on Google to see how many results they would generate. Some minor adjustments were made, and the 100 names with the highest number of results were profiled (as you can see it is not our fault that Chris Crocker ended at the 6th position!)

Celebrities that became famous prior to the explosion of the Web were not included. Hence you will not find the likes of Steve Jobs or Bill Gates, despite our acknowledgment that they are also influencing the Internet.

As of May, 2008, it has been viewed nearly 86 million times and nearly 160,000 people have left comments. Of course it has also spawned a series of imitators and send-ups.

87. Ryan Block

As Editor-in-Chief of technology blog Engadget, Ryan Block has considerable influence in how computer, home electronic and technology-related products in general are received. To gain some perspective of how much influence a leading technology blog can have, consider that a 2007 Engadget post by Block about a possible iPhone and OSX release delay, based on a faked Apple e-mail, drove down Apple’s share price by 2.2% within a matter of minutes.

83. Bram Cohen

The motion picture industry watched the havoc that Napster and other sharing networks wreaked on the music business and realized the same thing could happen to them when technology and bandwidth caught up to the much larger video file sizes. Bram Cohen co-founded BitTorrent in 2002 and the game was on.

Cohen’s BitTorrent protocol facilitates distribution of large files by breaking them into smaller pieces, with multiple recipients and sharers all swapping file bits instead of a single host server distributing an entire file.

69. Craig Newmark

Craig Newmark dealt many publications a knock-out punch with the launch of his Craigslist web site. While traditional newspapers rely on classified advertising as a major source of revenue, Craiglist allows users to post ads for free, charging only for job postings.

With a presence in most major cities in the US and significant worldwide growth, Craigslist has become the market leader in classified advertising and one of the highest traffic web sites in the world (reportedly 9 billion page views per month). eBay purchased a stake in Craigslist in 2004, but the two companies engaged in legal action against each other in 2008, trading accusations over unfair competition. Newark is an advocate of keeping web services free, remains active in the day to day operations of Craigslist and blogs regularly.

68. Niklas Zennstrom

Niklas Zennstrom is a leader in the field of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) web technologies. His first major venture was as co-founder of the KaZaA (or kaazaa) Network, a technology which had significant impact on enabling the file sharing (especially of MP3s) that had become one of the Internet’s big things; the company attracted its fair share of copyright-related lawsuits.

Zennstrom is also co-founder of Internet telephony company Skype, which was purchased in 2005 for over $2.5 billion by eBay.

Her networth is estimated at over US$1 billion, and she made it to the Time”s 100 most important people list on several years.

He is a Contributing Editor to InfoWorld magazine and founder of Gibson Research Corporation (GRC), a software development firm that develops specialized tools for data recovery and Internet security.

Gibson’s OptOut software, released in 2000, was one of the first adware removal programs. He has appeared frequently on tech-based podcasts and TV shows with Leo Laporte, including co-hosting the Security Now! podcast. Some of Gibson’s claims about computer and system security vulnerabilities have been downplayed by other experts, with occasional accusations that Gibson may have been inflating their significance.

65. Jeffrey Zeldman

Jeffrey Zeldman was on the web scene early in the game, and has been posting about web design since 1995, most notably on A List Apart.

Zeldman was an early proponent of a standards-based, cross browser approach to web design and through the Web Standards Project (which he co-founded), helped to pressure Microsoft and Netscape into supporting standards in their browsers. His lectures and books have helped to increase awareness of standards and to train a generation of web designers, contributing to an improved web browsing experience for everyone.

Zeldman’s blog, The Daily Report is a good read for his commentary on web design and technology topics.

64. Mitch Kapor

As co-founder, President and CEO of Lotus development Corp., Mitchell Kapor was one of the people who helped make the personal computer an integral part of the business office.

In 1983, he created Lotus 1-2-3, the dominant spreadsheet software that rapidly made Lotus one of the world’s biggest software companies. Kapor’s sphere of influence spread to the Internet. He was a co-founder of digital right organization the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), serving as its Chairman until 1994.

63. Steve Case

After AOL merged with Time Warner in 2001, Chase became chairman of the new company AOL Time Warner, stepping down in 2003.

The merger came at the height of the dot-com meltdown as well as dwindling AOL influence and has generally been considered a disappointment. Case has turned much of his attention to philanthropic causes through his Case Foundation organization, although his 2005 start-up, Revolution (primarily heath care and wellness-focused), shows he is still active in the business world.

62. Nicholas Carr

Nicholas Carr is a writer and scholar who has raised waves in the technology and Web 2.0 worlds with his pointed criticism; a 2007 Wired article referred to him as “high tech’s Captain Buzzkill.”

Carr uses his blog Rough Type to reach out to a wide audience, posting his thoughts on IT service as a standardized commodity, the risk of volunteer Web 2.0 efforts (Wikipedia being a favorite target) supplanting higher quality, “professional” versions and his fear of Google’s influence on future culture.

A former Executive Editor with The Harvard Business Review, Carr’s books include Does IT Matter? Information Technology and the Corrosion of Competitive Advantage and The Big Switch: Rewiring the World, From Edison to Google.

61. Marissa Mayer

One of Google’s first 20 employees and their first female software engineer, Mayer has been profiled in publications such as Red Herring, Business Week, Fortune and Business 2.0.

60. Frank Warren

Frank Warren’s claim to fame is the weblog phenomena PostSecret. Warren started his online PostSecret project as an experimental blog that asked readers to send in a postcard which they were to decorate themselves on one side, and write a secret they have never revealed previously on the other. Warren then displayed the postcards.

PostSecret was unique in that it wasn’t a blog in the traditional sense, but more a social experiment/ viral art project. Comments weren’t even enabled on the blog until two years after it launched. The success of PostSecret brought it media attention, a collection of “bloggies” in the 2006 and 2007 Weblog Awards and led to the publication of four related books, including A Lifetime of Secrets: A PostSecret Book, released in 2007.

57. Joel Spolsky

Starting his programming career at Microsoft, Joel Spolsky left in 2000 to co-found Fog Creek Software (producer of FogBugz), a company that focused as much on ensuring that its operations remain software development-focused rather than marketing dominated as it did on growth.

The company remains successful and Spolsky credits this to keeping Softcreek a company that is attractive to software developers. Spolsky’s opinions of software development and the management (or mis-management) of software and technology companies on his blog joelonsoftware struck a nerve with software engineers and employees of technology-focused companies worldwide and they have made his posts a must-read.

He has also written a handful of books, including Smart and Gets Things Done: Joel Spolsky”s Concise Guide to Finding the Best Technical Talent.

56. David Filo

David Filo co-founded Yahoo! in 1995 with partner Jerry Wang. While Wang went on to become CEO, Filo’s responsibility as “Chief Yahoo” is to direct technical operations of the Yahoo! web sites.

Filo’s teams provide much of Yahoo!’s revenues, through innovations such as push advertising, banners bars and button ads as well as holding considerable influence over platform, infrastructure and architecture.

Together with Yang, Filo remains one of the most public faces of the Yahoo! management team, although he tends to stay in the background where possible.

55. Chad Hurley

While working at PayPal, he met several associates (Steve Chen and Jawed Karim) and the three of them eventually left to form online video hosting site YouTube. As CEO of YouTube, Hurley was largely responsible for its tremendous growth and oversaw the sale of his company to Google in 2006 for $1.65 billion.

Hurley has been the subject of numerous technology stories, including stories in The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, Time and Business 2.0 (which included him on its 50 People Who Matter Now list).

54. Marc Andreessen

Few people can claim to have had the impact on the early development of the world wide web that Marc Andreessen has. He was co-author of Mosaic, the first widely-adopted web browser (and which was used as the basis for Microsoft’s Internet Explorer browser).

Andreessen went on to co-found Netscape Communications, which promoted its own Netscape Navigator web browser. Although Netscape initially had the upper hand over Microsoft’s, that situation eventually reversed with Microsoft’s Internet Explorer becoming the dominant browser in use today.

Andreessen left Netscape shortly after it was sold to AOL in 1999 and currently invests in start-up companies like Digg, Plazes, Twitter and social network platform Ning, frequently posting about his ventures on his blog.

53. Brian Lam

Gizmodo, part of the Gawker Media network, is one of the top gadget blogs on the web; it’s currently engaged in a bitter rivalry with Engadget, a competing site created by a former Gizmodo editor. Brian Lam is Editor-In-Chief at Gizmodo and he’s steering it through an interesting transition involving the struggle between cool and from the hip blogging versus old school journalism.

At the same time that Gizmodo is making headway in a struggle to compete against traditional media for access to interview subjects and trade shows, Gizmodo staff are still pulling pranks (for example, turning off exhibitors’ display monitors via a remote control at the 2008 CES show) that result in organizers banning them and other media dismissing them as “real” journalists.

52. Adam Curry

Adam Curry is a media crossover star who first gained fame as a veejay on MTV, hosting Headbangers Ball and Top 20 Countdown. After MTV, he moved into the relatively new realm of web entrepreneurship, co-founding the site OnRamp, which was sold to THINK (with Curry remaining on as CTO).

His biggest claim to fame is being among the first to recognize the potential in podcasting. He produces Daily Source Code, one of the first (and longest running at over 750 episodes) podcasts and has been referred to at times as the “Podfather.” He continues to promote his podcasting ventures through conferences, radio shows and even in the virtual world, Second Life.

51. Terry Semel

A long-serving executive with Time Warner, Terry Semel left to become Chairman and CEO of Yahoo! Inc. His tenure at Yahoo! was considered by many people to have hurt the company and he resigned after 6 years.

Among the low points of Semel’s reign were a failed negotiation to purchase Google before that company rose to market dominance, his approval to release Yahoo! User information to the Chinese government for the purpose of prosecuting dissidents and a compensation package that netted him well over half a billion dollars over his term during a time when Yahoo! was felt by investors to have seriously underperformed.

50. Steve Chen

Talk about being on the leading edge, Steve Chen has managed to be involved with three of the web’s hottest companies just as they began to take off, one of them as a co-founder. An employee of PayPal and Facebook, he and several co-workers left to start the online video sharing site YouTube.

Chen remains Chief Technology Officer of YouTube, which he and his partners sold to Google in 2006 for $1.65 billion. As a YouTube co-founder, Chen has changed the way media is distributed and viewed and was named to the 2007 Time 100 List and Business 2.0’s list of 50 People Who Matter Now.

49. John Chow

John Chow has managed to become one of the most controversial figures in blogging, thanks to his website Johnchow.com.

Chow had his initial success with TheTechZone.com, a massive (10,000+ pages) computer hardware review site that he claims draws 200,000 page views per day, but decided to branch out and launched the site where he began doling out advice on how to make money online

Most of Chow’s tips were related to advertising, linking, and monetizing content, but he began to veer into dangerous territory: gaming Google. In response to Chow advocating violating their guidelines, Google deliberately buried Chow’s website in their page rankings. Currently, he makes around $30,000 monthly from his blog alone.

48. John Battelle

Journalist and entrepreneur John Battelle is the CEO and Chairman of Federated Media, the online advertising company that represents such well-known blogs and websites as Boing Boing, Ars Technica, and Dooce among its large fold.

Battelle’s background includes being a co-founding Editor with Wired magazine, as well as stints with MacUser magazine and the LA Times. He is the founder and Executive Producer of the Web 2.0 conference and still contributes to his own blog, Searchblog, where he writes about search engine news and about his thoughts on general web and technology happenings. His ongoing contribution to entrepreneurship and online media has been recognized by the likes of Ernst and Young, Advertising Age, and PCWorld.

47. Om Malik

Om Malik is a journalist and blogger known for his coverage of the technology and computing fields. Starting as a writer for Forbes magazine and later Forbes.com, he was also a senior writer for new technologies/venture capital magazine Red Herring and then took a position as a senior writer for Business 2.0 magazine.

Where Malik really hit the radar, though, was when he started his Web 2.0-themed blog GigaOM under his Giga Omni Media umbrella. GigaOM claims readership numbers in the half-million per month range and is one of the world’s top-ranked blogs, with recognition of its influence coming from the likes of PC Magazine, CNET, and Technorati.

46. John Markoff

A technology journalist with a long background in tech writing (Infoworld, BYTE, San Francisco Examiner, New York Times, and others), John Markoff found himself at the center of a media storm over his chronicle of computer hacker Kevin Mitnick in the 1990s.

Markhoff had written articles about Mitnick while he was on the run from the police, then co-authored the book Takedown, which critics accused of exaggerating or even inventing parts of the Mitnick affair. Continuing to cover the computer and technology fields for the NY Times, Markhoff has earned some ill will in the blogging community with his comparison of blogs to the amateur CB radio fad of the seventies.

45. Danny Sullivan

Danny Sullivan is another one of those ‘web celebrities who aren’t really well known to the general public. But as a search engine guru, Sullivan is well-regarded by industry insiders, and his opinion is highly valued by web masters, web-related media, and engineers with companies like Google.

His Search Engine Watch website became a dominant collection of search engine optimization techniques and he also ran an industry conference called Search Engine Watch.

In 2006, Sullivan left SEW (which he had sold in 2005) to create a new search engine news and information site called Search Engine Land.

Weblogs had some very popular blogs under its umbrella, including Engadget.

After selling Weblogs to AOL Time Warner (remaining onboard as CEO), Calcanis became General Manager for Netscape’s website, where he recruited top posters to popular sites such as Reddit, Digg, and Flickr. His latest venture, Malaho.com, is a controversial “human-powered” search engine that has generated considerable curiosity as well a very public blog post-fuelled spat with Dave Winer.

43. Matt Drudge

Another alumnus of Time magazine’s 2006 “100 Most Influential People” list, Matt Drudge turned an e-mailed celebrity gossip hobby into a web-based scandal site credited with scooping traditional media sources on some of the biggest stories of the decade. In 1998, The Drudge Report was the first news outlet to break the Monica Lewinski story, a scandal that tainted the final years of Bill Clinton’s presidency.

Since then, The Drudge Report is frequently cited by other media outlets and continues to post celebrity arrest mug shots, court documents, political coverage and breaking news stories. The Drudge Report expanded into radio and television shows of the same name, but Matt is currently focused on his website.

41. Kevin Mitnick

When it comes to Internet-related celebrity figures, there are the famous and the infamous. Kevin Mitnick definitely falls into the latter category. A convicted computer hacker (he spent 5 years in prison), Mitnick’s method was social engineering rather than brute force hacking, meaning he relied on guesswork around people’s passwords based on research (for example), rather than running automated hacking tools.

Mitnick fought Internet access restrictions on his release and has since launched a computer security firm. His website is a popular target for hackers, with the ability to deface it considered a sign of hacking prowess. In his most recent brush with web notoriety, online community The Well turned down Mitnick’s application for membership, an event that spawned a flurry of posts in the blogosphere.

Arrington’s influence is frequently acknowledged by the media, including nods from Wired, Forbes, and Time, which referred to him as a “cybermogul” on their 2008 Time 100 List. With a vast network of industry contacts and information gleaned from research and socializing, Arrington’s opinion or mention of a new website on one of the TechCrunch affiliated blogs or podcasts can make or break the site.

35. Jakob Nielsen

Jakob Nielsen is a tireless campaigner for improving website usability. He has published multiple books on the subject, holds patents related to Internet usability methods, and has had a significant influence on website design.

Nielsen’s push for usability over appearance tends to shy away from fancy graphics, Flash-heavy, and visually appealing sites, frequently putting him at odds with the graphic design community. Nielsen’s website, Useit reflects his design principles, relying solely on text and on his Altertbox columns, mailed out since 1996 to subscribers, discussing current issues in web usability.

Nielsen is also known for “Nielsen’s Law” which ultimately points out that since home network speed increases at a slower rate than computer processor speed, user Internet experience is tied to network bandwidth.

34. Mark Zuckerberg

Mark Zuckerberg is CEO and co-founder of social networking site Facebook.com. With Facebook’s success, he’s become an extremely wealthy young man, at least on paper. Based on a Microsoft investment of $246 million for a 1.6% stake in the company, Zuckerberg is one of the world’s youngest billionaires.

Attempts to increase revenue opportunities for Facebook have raised privacy concerns, and Zuckerberg has had to spend increasing amounts of time apologizing to users, sometimes via his blog on Facebook. Zuckerberg has also faced legal action over claims he lifted the Facebook idea and possibly source code from another project he was involved with at college. Despite his current woes, there is no dispute that Zuckerberg has proved that social networking is among the hottest trends on the net.

Benioff’’s contributions to both technology and social change have been recognized by awards from many publications and organizations, including Business Week, Fortune, and eWeek.

32. Jerry Yang

29. Jonathan Schwartz

As President and CEO of Sun Microsystems, Jonathan Schwartz has a great deal of influence in the world of technology.

On first arriving at Sun, he was involved in the marketing of Java, the software that has become a leading development platform for web-based and mobile applications. Schwartz believes that society has begun to transition from information consumption to a participatory stage where people create ideas and content as well.

He uses his own blog extensively to discuss all things Sun, including corporate updates, interesting projects and interviews with employees, giving the public an unprecedented look at the inner workings of a large corporation.

27. Tom Anderson

Tom Anderson is the President and co-founder of the popular social networking website MySpace. He gained public fame as the most known face on MySpace because his name appeared as a default “friend” on all newly created accounts; at this point in time (July 2008), Tom has over 232,000,000 MySpace friends.

Anderson’s account was also used for service announcements, only adding to his notoriety. As a result of all this exposure, Anderson became an easy target for parody and has been lampooned by comics, singers, TV shows, writers, and artists.

Rupurt Murdoch’s purchase of MySpace for $580 million probably helps Anderson get past the ribbing.

26. Tim O’Reilly

Tim O’Reilly is the founder and CEO of O’Reilly Media, a company known for publishing computer and technology-related books. Working closely with the tech community, O’Reilly is often at the leading edge of technological shifts, leveraging his access to push his agenda of “changing the world by spreading the knowledge of innovators.”

21. Jeff Bezos

Named Time magazine’s 1999 Person of the Year, Jeff Bezos founded Amazon.com, steered it through the dot-com stock collapse of the late 1990s by pursuing an unlikely strategy of slow growth and turned the company into an Internet retail giant.

From its beginning in 1994 as an online book retailer, Bezos (President, CEO, and Chairman of the Board) has grown Amazon.com into a diversified outfit that not only dominates online book sales, but is also a major player in the sales of DVDs, CDs, video games, toys, and virtually any other commodity.

18. Lawrence Lessig

Founder of the Creative Commons and a board member of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, law professor Lawrence Lessig has become a central figure in technology copyright, as a critic of restrictive software patents, copyright laws, and wireless spectrum ownership.

Putting his money where his mouth is, Lessig’s books The Future of Ideas, Free Culture and Code: Version 2.0 have been made available as free downloads under a Creative Commons license.

Kawasaki gained notoriety in 2007 when he announced a new web 2.0 site, Truemors, that became an experiment around how inexpensively a web business can be launched (Kawaski claimed Truemors cost just over $12k), although it hasn’t quite lived up to the considerable hype.

16. Bruce Schneier

Bruce Schneier has accomplished the unlikely feat of bringing cryptography and computer security into pop culture; he’s been mentioned in movies (The DaVinci Code) and the sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond and is in high demand in media and government circles as a security expert.

His free monthly newsletter Crypto-Gram has over 130,000 subscribers and his website is a popular destination for those interested not only in computer security issues but in the debunking of general security-related myths.

15. Jimmy Wales

“Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That”s what we”re doing.” This, according to Jimmy (Jimbo) Wales in a 2004 Slashdot interview, is the concept behind Wikipedia.

The Internet was already taking a toll on traditional paper-bound encyclopedias, but the 2001 launch of Wikipedia, Wales’ online knowledge base comprised of user-generated, collaborative, peer-edited articles, dealt them a crippling blow. Despite some disputes around Wales’ personal vs. Wikipedia finances and ongoing controversy whenever Wikipedia entries are edited under suspicious circumstances, Wikipedia has become a standard online research tool with a knowledge base nearing 2.5 million (English language) articles and some 75,000 active contributors.

Recently, Wired published Free, an article by Anderson based on his forthcoming book of the same name.

During his tenure, Anderson has helped boost wired.com’s blogging presence, including the creation of GeekDad, a blog that allows him to indulge his fascination with radio-controlled vehicles and other high-tech “toys”.

11. Tim Berners-Lee

While the world wide web is as close to ubiquitous as one could imagine these days, this wasn’t always the case. In fact, less than twenty years ago, it didn’t exist. The Internet had been around for some time, but it was largely the domain of academics, the military and technology geeks. Sir Tim Berners-Lee is the focal point for the web as we know it today, the individual who first combined a series of concepts and technologies (domain name system, TCP/IP protocol, the Internet and hypertext) to create the world wide web.

The first website went live in August, 1991 and we haven’t looked back since. Berners-Lee is also the founder and Director of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), an organization tasked with creating web standards.

10. Larry Page

In 2001 he was hired as Chairman of the Board and CEO of Google. In addition, Schmidt joined Apple’s Board of Directors in 2006, making him a significant part of two of the most influential technology companies around. Schmidt has helped Google to continue its rapid growth, making him one of the richest men in the world.

8. Scott Adams

Cartoonist Scott Adams hit a nerve with Dilbert, his widely-syndicated cartoon about white-collar workers toiling in a cubicle farm, based on his own experience working in high tech firms.

Among the popular cultural terms spawned by Dilbert are “Pointy Haired Boss” and “Nerdvana.” dilbert.com has grown into a destination site with daily cartoon strips and additional content including Dilbert widgets, animation, and mashups. Taking advantage of Web 2.0 social aspects, readers vote on and rank comic strips.

Adams’ blog dilbertblog.typepad.com is separate from the Dilbert comic empire and allows Adams to exercise his acerbic wit on a wide range of topics from the political to environmental and pop culture.

7. Mark Cuban

American Billionaire Mark Cuban sold a software reselling business (MicroSolutions) to Compuserve, using the proceeds to fund Broadcast.com, which he sold to Yahoo! for $5.9 billion in Yahoo! stock. Cuban then bought the Dallas Mavericks NBA team.

6. Chris Crocker

If you’ve been near a computer recently, chances are you’ve either seen or heard of the infamous “LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!” videos, the first of which Chris Crocker posted to his MySpace page, while the second went to YouTube. Response to media backlash against Britney Spears, particularly the critical abuse she suffered after her “comeback” performance at the 2007 MTV Music Video Awards.

Crocker’s video featured an over-the-top performance that rapidly made it one of YouTube’s most viewed clips and gained Crocker instant fame. He appeared on a series of television shows, including various news programs, The Howard Stern Show and Jimmy Kimmel Live, and was honored with an award in Wired magazine. “LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!” has inspired hundreds of parody videos, commentary videos and proved how effective YouTube can be for viral content distribution.

5. Seth Godin

Seth Godin is a best-selling author and speaker. His blog, among the most popular on the Internet, is focused on how ideas spread and permission marketing. Seth’s marketing ideology describes a powerful consumer that, thanks to the Internet, is not subject to the television monopoly anymore.

Following this ideology, he created in 2005 Squidoo, which is a social network where users can share their recommendations or expertise on different topics. It would be difficult to visit any marketing-related website without coming across a mention of Seth’s ideas.

He is also the co-founder of Yoyodyne, a pioneer online marketing company. Yoyodyne was sold to Yahoo! in 1998, and seth became a VP of Permission Marketing for the search company.

4. Michelle Malkin

Michelle Malkin is a blogger, columnist, and political commentator. She makes many guest appearances on radio and television shows like Fox News Channel, but it is perhaps through her blog that she shines the most.

Despite claiming that she “was born and remain an ink-stained wretch,” MichelleMalkin.com is one of the most popular conservative political blogs on the Internet. Her articles are often mentioned in other media outlets, including several mainstream publications, which illustrates the important role that bloggers are taking on the new media landscape.

In 2007 the National Republican Senatorial Committee named Malkin one of the best conservative bloggers in the country. A couple of years ago she also founded the Hot Air broadcast network, following the success of her blog.

3. Beppe Grillo

The Italian comedian and activist became famous for his political satire. Inside his television shows, he would attack directly corrupted politicians and blow financial scandals open. He became so uncomfortable to politicians and businessmen alike that in the late 80s he was banished from television in Italy

The television ban did not silence Grillo, though. He continued to perform in theaters all over the country, and in 2003 he started the blog BeppeGrillo.it. The success was immediate, and today his blog is among the 10 most popular in the world according to Technorati. What does that mean in numbers? Well, his posts receive over 1,000 comments on average.

Among other brilliant stunts, in 2005 he bought a full page of advertising in a national newspaper and used it to ask for the resignation of the governor of the Bank of Italy (who was involved in several scandals).

2. Perez Hilton

Capitalizing on a seemingly endless public appetite for celebrity gossip, Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr. started blogging under the pseudonym Perez Hilton (taking his nickname from socialite and professional celebrity Paris Hilton). Rocketing to fame in a matter of months, he soon launched PerezHilton.com, where he claims to receive upwards of eight million page views daily.

Content tends toward the juvenile, but Perez has gained a huge audience by posting celebrity photos with catty comments; some are even adorned by his “doodles” of horns, drug remnants, or other objects. Controversy surrounds Hilton, not just because of the nature of his comments, but also because of accusations of illegally copying photos from other sites and a habit of “outing” celebrities he suspects of being gay.

1. Tila Tequila

Tila Tequila is the stage name for Tila Nguyen. First gaining popularity as a model for Playboy, Tequila was soon featured in other magazines such as Maxim and Stuff and began recording music and putting in appearances on reality shows including VH1’s Surviving Ted Nugent and Identity.

One reality show, A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila, featured twenty contestants (both men and women) vying for Tila’s affections, a mix that caused considerable controversy among conservative Christians. She has gained fame as a force in self-promotion, with her website tilashotspot.com flogging her music, videos, selling photos, and even marketing her own fashion line.
