[WEB4LIB] Re: "Imagining the Internet" predictions database

[Sloan, Bernie]

I'm not sure it's entirely accurate to describe the people on the list
as "Internet pioneers".

The preface to the list calls them the "200 people who were likely to
have made predictive statements about the Internet in the early 1990s."
In other words, people who were likely to have written or talked a lot
about the Internet. The preface also refers to them as "Internet
personalities".

I had to do it - 18 women, 182 men. *sigh* A couple of notable
oversights: Paulina Borsook, early member of Wired staff, author of
books on internet society; Beth Givens, founder of Privacy Rights
Clearinghouse (1992), and EFF Pioneer award winner. I'm sure there are
others.
