Currently the Korean king of pop, Rain/Bi, is leading the poll. I think it's sad. He's a great entertainer and all, but not worthy of being number one.

What's sad is that none of the world leaders are in the top 10. Who else is concerned about that?

So do you agree with the poll? Who would you pick as your top 10 most influential person of the year?

My pick, in no order:

Stephen Colbert
Bill Gates
Warren Buffett
Al Gore
George W. Bush
Bill Clinton
Barack Obama
Nancy Pelosi
Hillary Clinton
Richard Dawkins

It depends a lot on how you define "influential". For instance, the most influential person of the century would undoubtedly be Osama bin Laden, because his actions have changed almost every aspect of our lives, however, no-one in the western world would wish to congratulate him on that.

Influence depends on one's perspective, does it not?
