This morning, TIME Magazine released its annual list of the 100 Most Influential People in the World.

TIME Managing Editor Rick Stengel said, “The TIME 100 is not a list of the most powerful people in the world. It’s not a list of the smartest people in the world, it’s a list of the most influential people in the world. They’re scientists, they’re thinkers, they’re philosophers, they’re leaders, they’re icons, they’re artists, they’re visionaries. People who are using their ideas, their visions, their actions to transform the world and have an effect on a multitude of people.”

Here are some of the most influential personalities:

  1. LA COACHA NAME WILL BE NEXT

  2. WOW

  3. mira nomas

  4. WHERE IS YOUR PICTURE???

  5. COACHA YOU WERE ROBBED! you shoulda been there on that list!

  6. The people who “love the ladies of The View” are the same lame-brains who allowed themselves to be sold variable interest rate mortgages -  and the same idiots who give the flat-earth gal a standing ovation.   Most influential?  Yuck!  And the dumbing of America continues!  Thank you, Time.

  8. Ever heard of Manu (Shanker Mishra).(Check Google). Well, I have. He is clearly more influential globally as a thinker than the politicians,filmstars and CEO’s of companies included in the TIME 100 most influential persons list

  9. TIME 100 most influential people comprises filmstars,politicians,sportsperson and CEO of big companies.95% of them are unknown to me and in no way influenced our lives.We know of TIMES Heroes in India facing imprisonment for deeds which TIME considered heroic. Manu (Shanker Mishra) a globally known writer and New Agers influenced more peoples lives than the entire list of 100 most influential people of 2009 list of TIME.Should we expect even average intelligence within their editorial board?

  10. Clearly the Most Influential Indian 2009 is a person from Bihar, India called Manu Shanker Mishra.We all know the truth about online voting, false e-mail id’s and SMS voting techniques used.Filmstars, fanclubs, politicians, CEO of Companies use such lists for self advertisement. My own advice to Manu Shanker Mishra is to avoid this and stick with the New Age Movement and alternative lifestyle.His books and his association with New Age has made him the most famous Indian globally.TIME Most Influential Persons 2009 list and final votings on politicians and wannabe’s should not be a part of New Age Agenda.

  11. The most influential Indian, or Most Influential Person 2009 is clearly this lawyer/mathematician from Bihar, India named Manu (Shanker Mishra).The demonstration of mass scale psyhic phenomenon which left the scientific comunity divided has seen no consensus yet.The New  Age Movement associated with his name is perhaps the most influential movement of this century.
