MacTech's 25 most influential, version 2007
MacTech has released their MacTech 25 for the second year in a row-- it's a list of the top 25 most influential people in the Mac community (as selected by the community itself), and it reads like a who's who of people doing great stuff : John Gruber, the suave-looking Aaron Hillegass and Brent Simmons all make return appearances. This year they chose everyone who's ever programmed for MarsEdit (as Daniel Jalkut is happy to say), not to mention both co-founders of Rogue Ameoba, Paul Kafasis and Alex Lagutin.Who's missing? Anyone from Apple-- MacTech specifically left them off the list to make sure they didn't hog the Spotlight, so to speak. They say that Apple employees are allowed to be put in the Honorable Mentions section, but as far as I can tell, while Leo Laporte, David Pogue and Merlin Mann all made it, no one from Apple actually did. Better get cracking on those influencing techniques for next year, guys.
MacTech 25 most influential in the tech community
MacTech has posted the results to their top 25 most influential people in the Mac technical community. The list is very interesting and enhanced by the fact that no one currently employed by Apple could be on it (otherwise it would have to be mostly Apple folks). On the list are such notables as Andy Ihnatko, Dan Frakes, John Gruber, and Brent Simmons.Congrats to all. Oh, and if you're wondering why there is a picture of a Flower Power iMac with this post, it is because I like to imagine all the people on the MacTech 25 refuse to do their work on any other kind of Mac (hey, being that influential has its privileges).
