Welcome to Round 1 of the Web 2.0 faceoff. Our first contestants are the darling boys of the dot-com set. Young lads of 24 and 22 respectively, Will Pate and Matt Mullenweg will now battle for your affection.

Will Pate herds the community at Flock, the official browser of the dynamic-menu-and-pastel-color set. This Flockstar is seen in San Francisco as often as his home base of Vancouver.

Matt Mullenweg gave Blogger and Six Apart a run for their money with his blogging platform, WordPress. The former CNET employee moved from Houston to run his organization (and later his company, Automattic) from San Fran.
