Co-producers, D: All Things Digital Conference
Ages: 44 (Swisher), 59 (Mossberg)
Mossberg has been called everything from "the most influential computer journalist" to "a one-man media empire," so when he brought Swisher to the Wall Street Journal and started a conference with her, the result was something special. This year's D conference was no exception, with Steve Jobs and Bill Gates appearing on stage together. A spin-off tech news site, AllThingsD.com, aims to keep the buzz going all year long. Ages: 44 (Swisher), 59 (Mossberg)
