• You are awesome!

  You’ve kept your individual soul – AND – placed your influence at the top.
  THAT … is fabulous. (Studio moguls can’t even do that.)

  And thank you for staying “you” and not capitulating.

  You are the BABE!
  The warrior babe.

• Barring Netflix, your competition looks pretty weak, Nikki Finke.

• Wouldn’t game changing be sites like Hulu.com?

• What is so groundbreaking from any of these so-called “game changers”? Blogs, online videos, tweets and free music have all been done before in various forms using new media but maybe at a lesser degree of success. There’s too many lists floating around with everyone and their mother conjuring up some Top 10 list.

  This list just made my Top 10 List for Lame Lists

• No offense to you, Nikki, but calling Fallon a “gamechanger” better mean he brought the bar for interviewing and delivering punch lines down to new lows. The bar isn’t low because he’s overly crass, but because he lacks basic skills in delivering his monologue jokes, and needs to seriously reconsider his approach to interviews. When his guests are sarcastic or have some sort of buildup to a punchline he immediately deflates the gag. What a joke.

• Nice to see you are on there, but seriously, only 2 women, 1 african american and no latinos? WTF? I guess there really is a digital divide. I mean, seriously this is NEW MEDIA list and there isn’t ONE SINGLE ASIAN on there??!!!

• Is this a joke? Ashton Kutcher? Jimmy Fallon? I’m laughing so hard that I just shit myself. Twice.

  • Jim, I shit myself. Thrice!
    Nobody(Save for Nikki,Myspace founders, and some porn folks)is making any real money off the internet.
    People are stealing whatever Music,Movies,etc. they can get their greedy, keyboard stained, fingers upon.

    Gamechangers? The game is still being developed.

• Jimmy Fallon? Really? Are they joking? What exactly were they smoking when they came up with this list?

• Nikki, you stick out like a sore thumb on that list. It’s 9 people that everyone has heard of or knows about what the things they do, and then there’s you. It’s fascinating and quite awesome that you’re on the list, I am just shocked that you’re there.

• The exclusion of Perez pretty much invalidates this entire list. Love him or hate him, is way more of a game changer Kutcher, Fallon, Samberg, or Gordon Levitt.

  Just ask Lady Gaga.

• About half of these could drop into a bottomless well and the game wouldn’t change a bit (Nikki excluded).

• you’ve got to be kidding. is huffpo really this out of touch?

  Comment by David — Thursday October 1, 2009 @ 6:02pm PDT  Reply to this post

• Jimmy Fallon? Andy Samberg? Ashton Kutcher? No, really – Jimmy Fallon? We’re talking about the same Jimmy Fallon, right? There’s not another one out there, is there, maybe one who is actually good at what he does?

  I’d pay good money to be taken OFF of this list.

  Come on – tell me you’re kidding. Jimmy Fallon? A “Game Changer?” I guess, if it’s CandyLand to Checkers.
