PETE CASHMORE

Current Status: Translating geek-speak for the curious and converted



Changing The Game By: Taking social media mainstream. Cashmore, a college dropout and self-described "quiet type," grew Mashable into a one-stop-shop social media hub. Mashable dishes up digestible bites of tech wisdom that appeal to both nerds and newbies, highlighting not only what's new on Twitter, Facebook, and the social Web, but what to do with it. It also offers up the hunky Cashmore -- nicknamed the "Brad Pitt of the blogosphere" -- to Mashable's readers, nearly 50 percent of whom are female. Mashable's recent partnership with CNN is also mashing up new, social, and mainstream media, showing just how blurred the boundaries have become.



Killer Quote: "I'd wager that the high price of not capturing and sharing every moment of our lives will soon dwarf the cost to our privacy."
