imageIn conjunction with our EconCeleb conference later today, we present the Econoclast10, a top 10 list of the most influential and innovative online celebrities. Whether they’re blogging, investing, entertaining or, well, updating their MySpace profiles, these celebs are finding new ways to reach and interact with their fans. Check out the fancier, illustrated version here.

Our Econoclast10 is below. Please feel free to tell us which picks you agree with—and which ones you don’t—and add your own nominations in the comments.

#1) Will Ferrell, Chris Henchy and Adam McKay: The trio’s venture FunnyorDie.com has funny videos featuring celebrities, comedians and you.

The trio has wrangled in a plethora of Hollywood’s hipper comedy elite to contribute to FunnyorDie.com and other sites in its network. Read the full list here.
