Survey: Who Are the 10 Most Interesting People in Tech in 2010?

Last week, Barbara Walters did her annual television show “The 10 Most Fascinating People” of the past year.

Among the riveting folks that the veteran ABC interviewer sat down with were the inevitable Betty White and the unbearable cast from “Jersey Shore” explaining “smushing,” which you can watch below.

Also stuffed on the list–although without the requisite chat with Walters–was Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, mostly it seemed for starring in the social networking movie not much about his life.

Okay, BoomTown will bite on that one and, so inspired, it seems that it’s time for our own such list at All Things Digital.

Thus, here’s a whole bunch of choices below for your selection–pick one only, or add to the list.

Also say why you did so and we’ll publish the winners in two weeks (and sorry the survey looks jammed, but we’re working on a redesign!):

    Form is NOT working.
    You can only select ONE name.

    Oh yeah. It’s not working for me as well (and why does it look like it was made from a GeoCities template?). I feel like more “personality” types should be on here. Like a Merlin Mann, who seems really interesting.

    If you read the directions, you’re only allowed to choose one, fyi.

  • http://allthingsd.com/boomtown Kara Swisher

    Yes, you can pick only one. Explicit in instructions.

    While the directions are in All Caps, the confusion about the from comes from the question, “Who are the 10 most Fascinating People in Tech in 2010?” Sounds like you want people to list 10. Change question to “Who is the most Fascinating Person in Tech in 2010? (YOU CAN PICK ONLY ONE.)” and you will clear up the confusion.

While it’s tempting to see the Huffington Post’s Pulitzer as a “big win for new media,” or something like that, the real story is that these organizations — the Huffington Post, the New York Times, the Washington Post — are becoming more like each other. Old media and new media are increasingly antiquated terms.
