Here's who's shaping what you read, watch, hear, write, buy, sell, befriend, flame, and otherwise do online.

1. Eric Schmidt, Larry Page, and Sergey Brin
Executives, Google
When your stock price can top $500 a share, you're collectively worth $33 billion in cash, and you run the most trafficked search engine on the Internet, you can afford to do, well, pretty much whatever you want. Sergey Brin and Larry Page's little project from Stanford has grown into the Web's most talked-about powerhouse, and one of the few names on this list to have morphed into a verb. Schmidt left Novell to join the board of directors at Google in 2001 and soon became the company's CEO. Having conquered the online advertising world, Google seems to be gearing up for an acquisition spree, its headline-grabbing purchase of YouTube marking a big step toward complete domination of the Web.

2. Steve Jobs
CEO, Apple
No doubt you're sick of the media bonanza surrounding the every move of Apple's CEO, but when one man's appeal for DRM-free music reverberates around the world, it's hard to ignore the power he wields. Jobs popularized legal music downloads and legal TV and movie downloads. And though the iPhone won't be released for five months, its demonstration at Macworld Expo suggested that this product might finally popularize Internet browsing on a mobile device.

3. Bram Cohen
Cofounder, BitTorrent
P2P systems like KaZaA and eDonkey are so last year. The future is all about BitTorrent, the brainchild of math wizard and programming wunderkind Bram Cohen. BitTorrent, developed in 2001, has gained in popularity as a way to download large files (like movies) by sharing the burden across hardware and bandwidth. The technology's adeptness at handling large files got Cohen in trouble with the Motion Picture Association of America, which ordered BitTorrent to remove copyrighted content from its network. But that setback hasn't slowed it down. Reportedly, more than a third of all Web traffic now comes from BitTorrent clients. BitTorrent and the entertainment heavyweights have since joined forces. The newly released BitTorrent Entertainment Network launched recently with thousands of industry-approved movies, television shows, games, and songs for sale and rental.

4. Mike Morhaime
President, Blizzard Entertainment
In the world of online gaming, there is World of Warcraft and there is everything else. With 8 million players worldwide, Blizzard earns about $1.5 billion a year on WoW. And each player is breathlessly beholden to Mike Morhaime for the chance--if it ever comes--to obtain that Blade of Eternal Justice. As with Second Life (see #17), entire real-world businesses are based around the game. Unlike Second Life, though, these businesses--which exploit the WoW economy and gameplay--are not entirely welcome.

5. Jimmy Wales
Founder, Wikipedia
Many onliners treat Internet encyclopedia Wikipedia as their first and last stop in researching a topic; and its user generated content has become so reliable that Nature magazine declared it "close to [Encyclopaedia] Britannica" in accuracy. The site has been cited as a source of information in more than 100 U.S. court decisions since 2004. But its popularity has also made Wikipedia a target for spammers--so much so that Wikipedia temporarily blocked the entire country of Qatar from making edits. To thwart spammers, Wales decided to slap "nofollow" tags on external links, telling search engines to ignore the links in order to avoid artificially inflating the search engine ranking of the link targets. This strategy ensures that Wikipedia's prominence in search results will continue to grow. But Wikipedia may just be the beginning for Wales. He recently launched his own search engine, WikiSeek, which searches only sites mentioned in Wikipedia.
这话说的,一看就知道是行家,冯鑫是我朋友,请不要恶搞他,好吗?什么叫他最大?你有什么权利给他评这个奖?SOHU的SOGOU小吗?软众小吗?装什么孙子,都抖了出来大家都不舒服,劝你别装孙子。
我这话就放这儿了,现在做视频网的,那里站感站出来说自己干净,流量都是真实的!?有一个算一个,国内需求就那么大,大家都想做老大,都想做第一, 都想骗钱,才有了作弊。即便今天没DM,也会有其他作弊方式。流不流氓放一边先,至少DM还给了一个用自己点击选择的机会,没有骗点击吧,总比那些不靠谱 的什么联盟强吧。

土豆Alexa排名黑幕,原金山冯鑫做的保兰德尔干的
道听途说 发表于 2007-2-15 15:15:32
保兰德尔每天300cpm,价值6000人民币,一个月才18万,
能做到世界排名100 内,有需要的请联系酷热CEO 冯鑫,
也就是前金山冯鑫,冯鑫是实际的大股东,据称瑞星对保兰德尔也是不杀的,
金山毒霸也不杀,360安全卫士也不杀保兰德尔,冯鑫和金山,瑞星,周鸿祎都有深厚的关系,
和donews刘韧也有关系,和265老蔡都是哥们,业界很多人都知道这层关系,所以,
陈一舟的dudu弹出被告的死掉之后,保兰德尔已经成为中国第一插件,
除了紫光绿信外,日进斗金的插件厂商,这要感谢业界关系非常强大的冯鑫啊
donews一直没有相关新闻,原因也很简单,冯鑫的关系非常庞大,刘韧也得买账
土豆没钱了,为了后续VC投资,找保兰德尔赊账做的,每天400cpm,操作的人太着急上量赚钱,一下把土豆排名做烂了
