This is a list of some young guys that changed the internet with their great ideas. What would you do without them?
1. Larry Page and Sergey Brin
They made “Google” in 1998, when they were only 24. Their first “desk” was located in a garage, and after a while they became the owners of a great empire making billions of dollars per year.
2. Mark Zuckerberg
Facebook, facebook and again facebook. Mark Zuckerberg, a student that graduated at Harvard, came with this amazing idea called “Facebook”, a huge socialization network when he was only a 19 year old dude.
3. Chad Hurley and Steve Chen
The inventors of a “video-sharing” website, Youtube. After a while, youtube is bought by Google for the price of 1,65 billion dollars. Youtube appeared in 2005, when Chad was only 28 and Steve 27.
4. Jerry Yang and David Filo
These two guys made “Yahoo!”, Google rival. Probably, they two are the most loved men in the world from the moment that Microsoft made an offer of 44,6 billion $ to buy Yahoo!. Yahoo was made in 1995, when Jerry was 26 and David 28.
5.Matt Mullenweg
Least but not last, Matt Mulenweg, my favorite, the man that made the Wordpress script that became very very popular in the blogosphere and big names use it. Wordpress appeared in 2005 when Matt was only 19.
