One Web Day Continued
As promised in this mornings post, I’m back with some cool shots and commentary from the One Web Day event that took place at Battery Park here in Manhattan.
The weather was great – not too hot, not too chilly – and the energy coming off of all the net lovers was definitely felt.
Though the turnout was on the small side, founder of One Web Day (Susan Crawford ) stated that the event was an “experiment” and expected the holiday to grow with supporters every year.
She was absolutely right. We’re only scratching the surface with the web and we still have a long, long way to go until more people become as enthusiastic about the web as us “nerds and geeks.” It’s happening.
Here’s a shot of law professor and founder of One Web Day, Susan Crawford:
The first ever global icon for wireless hotspots was presented at the event. Keep an eye out for this icon. Looks a bit like the RSS icon, eh.
Here’s a shot of Craig Newmark – founder of Craigslist – and some corresponding clips of a short movie that was played, explaining the brilliance of craigslist:
Here’s a shot of Scott Heiferman of Meetup:
Oh.. and last but not least, here’s shot of some big balls from the Wall Street Bull up the street. For all of those risk-adverse people out there, this graphic image may help encourage you to start making things happen! LOL…
Overall, it was a great event. Celebrating One Web Day really felt good and I hope that this holiday continues. Actually, it will continue! And the web will grow! At this point, it’s unstoppable and we’re lovin’ it babe!
