Some guys that changed the internet

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.

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.
