Before you start reading as I don’t want any of you to be disappointed, somehow I did not make this list. I know, I was robbed. I heard a rumor that it was due to a hanging chad. Doh! As much of an injustice that my exclusion may be, the list is still pretty interesting. It includes such people as Perez Hilton, the Google Guys, Steve Jobs (apple), Matt Mullenweg (wordpress), Gabe Rivera (creator of my favorite site Techmeme even though he wont include PPClab.com yet! grrr), among many others that even includes a MySpace user with 1.7million friends.

here’s an excerpt

41. Perez HiltonHollywood blogger

Love him or hate him, this controversial blogger (real name: Mario Lavandeira) has changed the face of celebrity journalism. Hilton’s hugely popular Web site offers around-the-clock access to celebrity gossip and photos, but that’s not the only reason that he’s on our list. Hilton is involved in a legal battle with photo agency X17, which has accused him of using its copyrighted photos without permission. Hilton claims that posting the photos on his site is legal, amounting simply to fair use of newsworthy images. The $7.6 million federal lawsuit could have lasting effects on how bloggers everywhere use digital photos online.
