Quote Tim Berners-Lee out of context and he’ll blog your a&&

November 8, 2006 By

I loved this post by Mike over on TechDirt where he details how Tim Berners-Lee corrected a Guardian article that quoted him. All on his blog.

Don’t know who Tim is and why he’s important to the little words you’re reading right now? You might want to learn how to use Wikipedia.

He invented the Web.

    TBL’s original pitch to his boss at CERN, regarding this idea he’s got for an interconnected ‘mesh’ of documents connected by ‘hyperlinks’.

    My fave joke of the moment:

    “That’s favoritism!”
    “Yeah, and Tim Berners-Lee didn’t visit my website either.”

    Interesting.

    It says that Tim didn’t invent the Web on his page at W3C. And Wiki is wrong at that, too.

    Interesting, up to 10 mins ago, I was thinking it was Tim Berners Lee, who invented the Web. How the world changes, when you type in a couple of queries.
