Graham Hill founded Treehugger.com, the biggest green web site that helped turn ‘environmentalism’ into something hip, modern and grock-able. And he’s still going strong, now that Treehugger’s been bought up by Planet Green, the first 24-hour green TV channel (which is itself owned by Discovery, one of the few cool networks) and the reason I finally caved and got me a big TV (via barter) and cable, which is mostly a time-sucker.
The below list, which linked to my interview of Graham Hill at LOHAS (nice for elephantjournal.com’s traffic, thank you) comes via Forbes via TVmole.com.

Forbes – 25 Web Celebrities to Know
Forbes has just published its annual Web Celeb 25 – the bloggers, techies and geeks who are rocking the online world. If you are looking for onscreen talent/experts, I suggest you start with the following. I’ve chosen them purely on the basis that they’ve got a good face for TV/are hot. Call me superficial and feel free to disagree:
1) Brian Lam – editor of Gizmodo, a gadget site with 3.1 million views per day
2) Mark Frauenfelder – co-founder of Boing Boing, ‘a directory of wonderful things’.
3) Perez Hilton – founder of celebrity rumour blog Perez Hilton
4) Pete Cashmore – founder of Mashable ‘all that’s new on the web’ whether it be news about the iPhone, Twitter or amazon.
5) Will Leitch – founding editor of sports blog Dead Spin
6) Will Wheaton – ex-Star Trek actor and blogger
7) Matt Drudge – founder of the Drudge Report that broke the Clinton/Lewinsky story.
8) Owen Thomas -managing editor of Silicon Valley scandal rag Valley Wag
9) Nate Silver – statistician and writer on politics blog FiveThirtyEight
10) Kevin Rose -entrepreneur and founder of content sharing website Digg. He’s got previous as presenter of Tech TV’s The Screen Savers.
And a couple who slipped off the Forbes list but stay on mine:
11) Graham Hill -Designpreneur and founder of green website Treehugger
12) Xeni Jardin -tech journalist and co-editor of Boing Boing and host of Boing Boing TV. She’s also written for Wired and Playboy…for the whole shibang, including their Near-Misses list, go to Forbes.
