If you want to get inspired by the many tech millionaires under age 30 in today’s Internet community, have a look at this infographic showing a few of them.
Carla Gentry CSPO‘s insight:

But many of the founding tech millionaires of today have sort of ended up in the shadow of this furiously debated Facebook entrepreneur. It’s kind of a pity really since there are plenty of things to be learned by all of these innovative people. We don’t have to focus on Mr. Zuckerberg in order to get inspired.

Catch up on the best of what InformationWeek had to offer this year, from profiles of top CIOs to investigations of tech security gone wrong.
Carla Gentry CSPO‘s insight:
At this time of year, some sites run lists of their most popular stories from the past 12 months. We decided to go a different route. Let us remember, Britney Spears was most popular at one time. So were plaid pants, mullets and wine-in-a-box. Most popular isn’t always what it’s cracked up to be.
