Digg Founder Kevin Rose one of CNN’s “50 People Who Matter Now”

Posted: Mon 6.26.06 @ 7:35am EST in Special

Digg.com founder Kevin Rose is tied for #23rd spot on CNN’s Business 2.0 Magazine list of “50 People Who Matter NOW” with Wikipedia’s Jimmy Wales.

The #2 spot is shared by Sergey Brin and Larry Page, Co-founders of Google, but who’s #1? YOU!

From the CNN listing:

Old media is all about reinforcing the importance of the institution as the editorial filter. The new new media is all about the importance of the reader as the editorial filter. Tens of millions of users can create a collaborative intelligence that’s far smarter than any one editor could ever hope to be. But the right technology is key — and that’s where Rose and Wales made their mark.
