i think that is an AWESOME idea techcrunch, and there are some serious stars on here – but i’d like to request and suggest a few things:

a “rising stars” category (aka ‘ones to watch’ – which may be culled from runners-up?)

a review of runnersup/near finalists so that we can see the awesome folks who simply didn’t make the final cut (qi lu? there are so many to list it’s ridiculous…)

a clear “methodology” or statement of evaluation process that explains evaluation and selection criteria

a broader selection of judges!! i pick:
- mike moritz
- robin reed
- some others in venture and vc search firms

Although I agree that it is worth remembering the pioneers (who were themselves in debt to earlier pioneers; to quote Sir Isaac Newton: “If I have seen further, it is only by standing on the shoulders of giants.”), the computer science pioneers of whom you speak have already received large amounts of recognition through such prestigious awards as the ACM Turing Award, and so forth. The TechFellow awards are to honor what a younger generation has been able to achieve, specifically in the realm of high tech entrepreneurship, on top of whatever was achieved before their time.

Without taking anything away from these well-deserved awards, i would note that the vast majority of these people made their contributions within the last 10 years. It would be nice if (in the future) you also recognized the earlier generations of visionaries, the ones who creating the enabling technologies and the earliest software products, in some cases as long as 40 years ago. Without their innovations and examples, it might have been impossible for tonight’s winners to have accomplished what they did.
