Tim Berners-Lee
“Knighthood”:http://washingtontimes.com/upi-breaking/20031231-042415-4707r.htm for Tim Berners-Lee, creator of the WWW. Even cooler, “WorldWideWeb - Executive Summary”:http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=6487%40cernvax.cern.ch is the original Usenet post where the project is announced. For good measure, a couple of months later Linus Torvalds announces Linux. [via Waffle]
Also, Google has it’s “own page”:http://www.google.com/googlegroups/archive_announce_20.html showing “historic” moments in Usenet history, dating back to 1981. Pretty cool.
