"Back in August, The Huffington Post asked their readers to help identify the top game changers across 10 different verticals to \u201Chonor and celebrate people who are using new media to reshape their fields and change the world.\u201D\nToday, after 1.7 million votes, the top 10 has been revealed, and our own Pete Cashmore has made the list for the \u201Ctechnology\u201D category.  Here\u2019s what The Huffington Post has to say about our founder and CEO:\n\n\u201CChanging 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. \nIt also offers up the hunky Cashmore \u2014 nicknamed the \"Brad Pitt of the blogosphere\" \u2014 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.\u201D\n\nThanks to all of the Huffington Post readers that cast their votes for our leader! While I\u2019m not sure who gave Pete the nickname, I will do my best at making sure his face gets completely red by also suggesting you give his excellent and insightful (hey, it's bonus season) column published today over on CNN a read: \"Next year's Twitter? It's Foursquare\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
