Hey Forbes, thanks very much for including me (and my dad) in your first annual “Web Celeb 25” list. As Calacanis, who’s also on the list, said, I didn’t know anything about this until it was forwarded to me today. I can think of at least 100 people who are more deserving, mostly entrepreneurs who’ve given up a steady income to pursue their dreams. Hopefully they’ll be recognized financially if not by being placed on a list.
I hope they paid you for using that photo.
Congrats Michael
Hope your keeping your eye our for entrepreneur in residence jobs
Cool!
Congrats Mike
MediaVidea has an alternate people’s choice list:

Interesting that the Getty photographers get credited (and I assume paid) but that the web photographers don’t.

Just read this post after being linked by Scobleizer - (Robert Scobles Blog), he was also quite humble suggesting people like
be included.
But Forbes has gone way to far with the advertising on their site.
As I recall, that picture was taken with my camera. Will I be receiving a royalty payment soon?

Nice Mike, you deserve it
