Colin Needham (born 26 January 1967, Manchester, England, United Kingdom) is the founder and CEO of the Internet Movie Database (IMDb), and has served as general manager of IMDb since its acquisition by Amazon.com in 1998. ==Career== IMDb was started in 1990 by Colin Needham while Needham was working as an engineer in Bristol at Hewlett-Packard (HP).〔 The site that was initially his personal movie database, was more like an internet bulletin board made from simple records, kept on a succession of early computers. Needham continued adding information to this early IMDb by including every film he had seen since the age of 13, and with the help of the many volunteers, IMDb grew large.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.eyerys.com/articles/people/movie-database-col-needham )〕 By the summer of 1996, thanks to IMDb's first film-related advertising campaign (for ''Independence Day''), Needham had quit HP to work on IMDb full-time as a paid employee. In 1999, he collected two Webby Awards for IMDb. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Col Needham」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
