Segun, I tried to locate a cached copy of the article but to no avail. Since I did appear on the list I’m not in a good position to make any comments that wouldn’t seem self-serving and welcome to my blog. Hoping to see more of your comments here.

You are not a webmaster if you do not have web presence. What are you mastering?

What webmaster worth his salt wouldn’t have a personal online presence anyway?

Sure, we all need to come out of our shell to be recognized. No one expects you to be found if your indoors.

Anyway, good judgment Tim.

What about web developers who create plugins/modules for WordPress, OSCommerce etc. What about web designers who do a good job creating breath-taking and functional WordPress themes?

Hmm, what about web developers who only develop their own websites?

“while some comments on the site and elsewhere were such that the author was partial”

tim, its not abt bin partial, the guy just got it all wrong…
the names he listed does not represent web developers!

Imagine Gbenga sesan on that list! Or would you refer to Gbenga sesan as a ‘web developer’ ?

its a matter of bin crappy…not bin partial

Yep. True talk. You could be the best, maybe a part of the Google team, and yet remain unrecognized just because you don’t have a way of publicizing yourself.

Get a website and showcase your works in your own way… I would even recommend Twitter accounts above blogs. Not all developers/designers are good writers. But at least, your thots can be heard by anyone on Twitter.

Tim, thanks for the mention. You’re very right about that: I specifically mentioned they were people I knew and can reckon with based on what I’ve seen.

Besides, those developers I’ve listed have played huge roles in the web industry and deserve to be honoured. However, they are not my best 10:-)

Will respond to your FB email soon.
