Gore and the Internet
After all the discussion (and derision) during Al Gore's campaign for president about how much he had to do with 'inventing' the Internet, interesting to see that he was awarded a 'Webby' Lifetime Achievement Award for helping to get the legislation needed to make the 'Net work. According to journalism prof and blogger Bob Stepno, Gore was allowed just five words for his acceptance speech: "Please don't recount this vote". Other Webby winners: Craig Newmark of Craigslist, The Kleptones, and Flickr, among others.
