Steve Job - A Powergeek !!!

Steve Job topped the list of the 25 most influential people in Web music by US Music Magazine "Blender". Steve Job, also known as the Father of the iPod, does indeed deserve this title. The Apple iPod has managed to find itself in the hands of millions of music fans all over the world.


The magazine's "Powergeek 25" list was compiled to show the behind-scenes-players reshaping the way people listen to, buy and watch music. "Music fans spend much of their day, if not their life, sitting in front of their computer, discovering and downloading music," Blender's editor-in-chief Craig Marks said in a statement. He said Jobs, who co-founded Apple Inc. and is chief executive of the company, had proved to be a technology trendsetter.

The following is the complete list -


1. Steve Jobs: Apple Inc.

2. Tom Anderson and Chris DeWolfe: MySpace




3. Chad Hurley and Steve Chen: YouTube

4. Doug Morris: Universal Music Group




5. Ryan Schreiber: Pitchfork (Web magazine)
