I like the videos this year definitely. There's something about witnessing the actual passion behind the pictures and articles from the real people. Makes them seem more deserving of the praise.

However it's a shame they turned everyone into a cartoon after what looks like were photos from several professional photo shoots.

I wonder if it was one of those situations where 1 or 2 pictures came out terrible, so they decided to cartoonify everything and call it "by design".

I think this list is missing 2 critical people. Gurbaksh Chahal is building his third company, having sold the first two for a combined $340M. I definitely think having 2 major exits before you're 30 should merit inclusion in the list. Second is Mark Zuckerberg. Regardless of what you think about his company, facebook has 750,000,000 members around the globe. Which if it were a country would make it the third largest on the planet. Not to mention he's parlayed a website he built in his dorm room into a $13.5B fortune. And if that doesn't qualify someone for the list, what will?

I think folks like Zuck graduated beyond such lists a few years ago. At least a partial goal of these lists is to introduce fresh faces and find the "next" Zuckerberg. Otherwise we'd be seeing the same people for a decade.

The list is not meant as a historical record, it's meant to sell magazines. Neither of these two names would sell magazines because everyone knows about Mark Zuckerberg and most people in the industry know about Gurbaksh Chahal (he has been profiled in these types of articles many times).

Congrats to the Hipmunks and Dropboxes (and any other YC company on the list that I didn't realize was YC)!
