Where did the founders of places like Digg, Reddit, Mybloglog, Wordpress, Feedburner... go to school and what degrees do they hold, if any? How many of them dropped out to become millionaires, and how many are college graduates? Which was more popular among the new Internet moguls: Computer Science or MBA degrees?

It is interesting to see the similarities and differences between these guys. Speaking of that, where are the female Internet moguls?

You don’t need a degree. Degrees don’t have anything to do with success.

It is interesting. But that’s all. I do find it interesting to compare these folks side-by-side, but there is a better way to do it than by comparing their education (or lack thereof) combined with unless factoids about their personal lives.

maybe a few more business degrees in there and they’d have actually put revenue models into their businesses and they’d be less of a web2.0 bubble. Honestly how can we let this happen again it is like know one remembers the last bubble. AARRRRHHHHHH

No mathematicians. Bodes well for us (me and my bro).... Duncan has a computer science degree though. Maybe he can save us.
