No. 27 Stewart Butterfield and Caterina Fake, co-founders, Flickr
Last year's position: Not placed
Why? Bringing the Flickr magic to Yahoo!
Stewart Butterfield and Caterina Fake, the husband and wife team behind Flickr, are now in-house at Yahoo! following the internet giant's acquisition of the photo sharing site and its parent company Ludicorp last year.
The pair are now charged with bringing the innovation which arguably sparked the user-generated content revolution to the internet behemoth that is Yahoo! - the world's most popular web property.
The Agenda Setters panel believes Butterfield, a Cambridge University graduate, and Fake, a dot-com veteran, hold the key to tagging technology that will not only keep Yahoo! at the forefront of online innovation but also advance the rest of the web 2.0 movement by making search that much more sophisticated.
Take a walk down memory lane - and find out who made the Agenda Setters poll over the years:
