I don't normally take lists of the top 25 or top 100 or whatever to be particularly meaningful, especially if they have anything to do with technology. Today, I stumbled over one that feels more meaningful than usual. It's a list that "Tracks Mac Industry Power and Influence". My employer is #16 on this list of 25, and a co-worker is #20, but Adam Engst of TidBITS is #5, the first person on the list who doesn't work for Apple Computer itself.
With his wife Tonya, and a small crew of other people, Adam publishes TidBITS, a weekly email newsletter, from the Ellis Hollow neighborhood. I remember reading it long ago in college, where it was pretty much a revelation of all cool things Macintosh. It still is. They're also publishing electronic books about the Macintosh now.
