If you believe what social news gathering site NowPublic has to say, these are the most influential folks in Silicon Valley. I say folks generously. It's mostly men.

At any rate, here's the top half of the top 50 list for Silicon Valley, as measured by online visibility, presence on Web 2.0 sites, interactivity and accessibility, and presence on microblogging platforms like Twitter:
