MAzine Network Media Hall Of Fame

What are network media environments? Here at Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication, this is the kind of question we think about all the time. Even when we sleep. Sometimes our dreams now have Firefox border to it. But then again we are obsessives, especially Elkin. Anyway, we like to think that network media environments about people. So here is our inaugural 'Network Media Hall of Fame', made up of the most influential people in our emerging world.

Do you agree? This being a networked media environment. You can disagree. Is there anyone missing? Is there anyone we should delete? What other lists do you want to see? Do you dream in Firefox, too?
