Dear Ron,
|
|
The man who invented the world wide web says it is on the
cusp of making its next big leap to become an open environment
for collaboration, and he has not been so optimistic in years.
ALSO: Movies have the Oscars, the web has its Webby awards.
Look at this year's winners' websites. AND: Have some fun
looking at your favourite websites the way they used to look
many years ago using the Way Back Machine. |

AMSTERDAM
(Reuters) May 19, 2006 - The World Wide Web is on the cusp of
making its next big leap to become an open environment for
collaboration, and its inventor says he has not been so
optimistic in years. Still, Tim
Berners-Lee, the Briton who invented and then gave away
the World Wide Web, warns that Internet crime and
anti-competitive behavior must be fought tooth and
nail.
A lot of
new technology is becoming available after many years to make
the Web smarter and easier to use, he said. “My personal view
is that a lot of it is coming together now. That is very
gratifying to see, I’m very optimistic at this moment,”
Berners-Lee said in a telephone interview ahead of the annual
World
Wide Web Conference, which opens in Edinburgh on
Monday.

Proclaimed “the
online equivalent of an Oscar” by the New York Times (June 21,
2005), The Webby
Awards is the leading international honour for Web sites and the
innovators behind them. The Webby Awards is presented by the The
International Academy of Digital Arts & Sciences, a global
organization with over 500 members including musician David Bowie,
Virgin Group founder Richard Branson, The Body Shop president Anita
Roddick, “Simpsons” creator Matt Groening, Naked Chef Jamie Oliver,
and fashion designer Max Azria.

The Internet
Archive is building a digital library of Internet sites and
other cultural artifacts in digital form. Like a paper library, they
provide free access to researchers, historians, scholars, and the
general public. One of the most popular archives is called the Way
Back Machine. Browse through 55 billion web pages archived from
1996 to a few months ago. See how the web has evolved and look at
your own organisation’s website as it was several years
ago.
