Countdown Continues
10 Visionaries of the 90’s
By Hal Hart
Issues 0 & 1 started one webfeed’s countdown of the 90’s Top 10 influence makers. Here are 3 & 4:
- 4 Jerry Yang and David Filo: Co-founders of Yahoo! It started as a hobby, to find stuff on an obscure part of the Internet, the World Wide Web. Neither of them guessed that their guide, a categorization of websites, would someday become the most popular, valuable, and widely imitated brand in a multibillion-dollar market.
- 3 Marc Andreessen: The poster child for the digital revolution. Co-inventor of the integrated text-and-graphics Web browser (Mosaic) and co-founder of Netscape. Contrary to popular opinion, he did not invent the Web browser, nor create the first GUI for a browser, nor was his even the first to use pictures. Nevertheless, the Web wouldn’t be where it is today without him because to a good idea he brought business smarts — marketing, 24-hour tech support, and learning to improve the product and ensure user loyalty.
