But here are some of the highlights for me:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Mike Arrington<\/strong>, obviously &#8212; the founder and editor of TechCrunch is pretty much the poster boy for Web 2.0 and also at the epicenter of what&#8217;s going on with new media.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Jim Buckmaster<\/strong> &#8212; the CEO of Craigslist, which isn&#8217;t just a phenomenally successful social network, but also an incredible story of how the founders have deliberately avoided making money.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rachel Sklar<\/strong> &#8212; Toronto-born former lawyer who is now the editor of the Eat The Press section of Huffington Post, a giant in the field of new media and a wonderful writer to boot.<\/li>\n<li>\n<strong>Jeff Howe<\/strong> &#8212; a Wired contributing editor and veteran journalist who invented the term &#8220;crowdsourcing&#8221; and is now working on a book about the concept of content produced by users.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Simon Pulsifer<\/strong> &#8212; Canada&#8217;s own &#8220;king of Wikipedia,&#8221; who has written more than 2,000 entries in the open-source encyclopedia and edited almost 100,000.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mike Masnick<\/strong> &#8212; the founder of Techdirt, a key source of creative thinking about Web 2.0 and technology in general, as well as a people-powered consulting company.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are lots more too: How about <strong>Garth Turner<\/strong>, blogger\/author and MP? Or <strong>Christine Herron<\/strong>, a venture capitalist with The Omidyar Network. Or <strong>Scott Feschuk<\/strong>, writer\/comedian and former Paul Martin speechwriter. Video-blogger <strong>Loren Feldman<\/strong> from 1938media. <strong>Andrew Coyne<\/strong>, columnist and gadfly. <strong>McLean Mashingaidze-Greaves<\/strong>, creator of CBC&#8217;s Zed and now Rapspace.tv.
