Who are the Alpha Geeks you follow?
mbrubeck: Here are my top ten, mostly web-related in some way because of my interests.  These are the "loud alpha geeks" - the ones who broadcast their interests via regularly-updated blogs or curated links.  (There are plenty of "quiet alpha geeks" who are just as "alpha" but not as easy to follow online.)Brad Fitzpatrick (http://brad.livejournal.com/) - creator of LiveJournal and Danga, now at Google working on PubSubHubbub, the Social Graph API, etc.John Resig (http://ejohn.org/, http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=jeresig) - jQuery, Mozilla, lots of other JavaScript and browser stuff.Paul Bucheit (http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=paul) - creator of GMail and FriendFeed, now at Facebook.Ryan Tomayko (http://tomayko.com) - Ruby, Sinatra, now working at GitHub, has an excellent linkblog.Simon Willison (http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=simonw) - Django, Python, also has an excellent linkblog.Leslie Orchard (http://decafbad.com/) - Previously at Delicious/Yahoo, wrote books on JavaScript, Dojo, RSS, now at Mozilla.  Follow his bookmarks at: http://delicious.com/deusxMark Pilgrim (http://diveintomark.org/) - Atom, HTML5, Linux, Python, Greasemonkey, formerly at IBM, now at Google.  Bookmarks at: http://delicious.com/wearehughJohn Gruber (http://daringfireball.net/) - Apple news and punditry, linkblog.Sam Ruby (http://intertwingly.net/blog/) - Atom, Python, Ruby, Rails, XML, HTML5, SVG.  Read what he reads at: http://planet.intertwingly.net/Kevin Kelly (http://kk.org/kk/) - Whole Earth Catalog, WELL, Wired magazine, Cool Tools, various books.  Compared to the rest of my list, KK does much more big-picture thinking about technology and society.----...and some of the not-so-loud alpha geeks who I wish posted more (but not really, they probably get more done if they're not blogging all the time):Dustin Sallings (http://dustin.github.com/, http://delicious.com/dustin) - memcached, Python, Twisted, Erlang, Java, C, etc, etc, etc.Tom Preston-Werner (http://tom.preston-werner.com/) - GitHub, Ruby, God, Jekyll.Richard Johnes (http://www.metabrew.com/) - Last.fm, Playdar, Erlang.
