No. 2 on the list is publishing magnate Rupert Murdoch. The News Corp. chairman and CEO caused quite a ripple on the Internet with his recent purchase of The Wall Street Journal, but nothing close to the splash created by MySpace, which he acquired for $580 million in 2005.

Praising “their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change,” the Nobel Committee awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to Al Gore and the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, reports Walter Gibbs and Sarah Lyall (New York Times).
Al has put his heart and soul, and much of his life during the past several years, into alerting and educating us all on the climate crisis. We are bursting with pride for Al and this historic recognition of his global contributions.

Congrats to Al Gore!

Steve jobs is the Mozart of Media Manipulation, the Beethoven of Marketing, the Chopin of Events.
