The Queen of England has named Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web as a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire. As an information junkie, and a guy who owes his career to Sir Tim, it warms my heart to see his contribution recognized.
Note: Please disregard the BBC’s ignorance when they state that the Web “is still the basis of the net as we know it.” They have apparently forgotten about e-mail, Net radio, much less the other peer-to-peer and syndication programs and projects.
I thought Al Gore invented the internet.
