One Web Day
Guess what everybody? Today is officially the first One Web Day. Started by law professor Susan Crawford, One Web Day was crated as a way to celebrate the importance of the web and how each person benefits from the net in their own unique way – think of Earth Day, but swap “Earth” with “Web” and you’ll get the idea.
Today I’ll be attending the main event here in New York City, but countless celebrations will be going on throughout the entire world. In London the man himself, Tim Berners-Lee, will be making a speech in the Royal Exchange Grand Cafe & Bar at Bank starting at 2pm.
One Web Day is really about soaking up everything the internet has to offer. We’ve come such a long way over the past 15 years. Today is a day to go outside and start a blog, write a program, make some comments on sites, read an ebook, connect to friends across the world, start a internet service, share photos, make a few dozen Skype calls etc… just make sure to do something on the web and also help someone learn more about this amazing medium of communication.
Stay tuned, I’ll be updating this entry with images and commentary from the event. Craig Newmark of Craigslist, Scott Heiferman of Meetup, will both be giving presentations here in Manhattan’s Battery Park. Today is going to be a great day and I hope that you all will participate in One Web Day and help spread the powers of the net.
