This collection of hundreds of brief biographies of 2008 survey respondents includes the names of a large sample of the many survey respondents who were willing to be quoted on the record for one or more of their statements in answer to the survey. Hundreds of additional well-connected internet leaders/stakeholders preferred to remain anonymous, keeping their comments off the record; you will not see their names here although they did participate in the survey. Information here is based on biographical details submitted; some information is sketchy because additional detail could not be clearly determined and verified with a data search. If you know of a specific person you would like to look up, click below on the beginning letter of the person’s last name in order to take a shortcut to his or her biography.
