not really accurate, larry page made Google but it's not that influencing: google is influancing but not larry.

people who are influencing are: Jeff at wood, Joel Spolsky and other famous bloggers.

IMHO

Well if we include business influences like they have then PG has been a pretty big influence on plenty I'm sure.

Steve McConnell and the guys behind The Pragmatic Programmer are more influential on a programming mindset than Atwood or Spolsky.

And you couldn't include Atwood before Spolsky at all, Spolsky has clearly been more influential to programmers. Perhaps because these guys are more web focused they have been less influenced by the more programming focus of Spolsky.
