The 2011 Crunchies, the annual awards event for the Tech Community produced by TechCrunch, VentureBeat, and Gigaom, is this Friday in San Francisco, and the voting underway (until Wednesday) reveals a nice surprise.
This blogger was the first to openly push for Wikileaks Editor-In-Chief Julian Assange to receive the "Best Startup Award." This for Wikileaks path-breaking impact on World Industrial Culture, showing just how powerful the Internet really is in its ability to rapidly disseminate important information.
Well, Wikileaks isn't up for Best Startup, but Julian Assange is up for "Best Founder."
Here's the list:
Founder of the Year
Julian Assange, WikiLeaks
Dennis Crowley, Foursquare
Jack Dorsey, Square
Kevin and Julia Hartz, Eventbrite
David Karp, Tumblr
Mark Pincus, Zynga
