"Tech Heroes" From Ada Lovelace to Jamie Z

An anonymous reader writes: The Web 2.0 Journal has launched a search for what it calls "the all-time heroes of i-Technology" (its own shorthand for 'Internet technologies'), reaching as far back as to The Countess of Lovelace, though whether or not Ada Lovelace is truly the first programmer is not discussed. As an exercise in reminding ourselves whose shoulders we are standing on when hurtlng towards the 21st-century, richer Web it's not a bad start. Naturally there are sins of omission, though. (No mention of Ward Cunningham, creator of the wiki, for example; nor of anyone involved with the technology behind Skype, KaZaa, and now Joost.)
