Most people think "create"="wrote code", but here Al promoted a policy to make something "open for the rest of us". So a corollary is: TimBL couldn't have made the Web without Al Gore's initiating the Internet.

Very interesting concept, actually. If it works, it could mean a huge new shift in the kind of articles that get importance. I mean, as of now, only the big MSM articles get more weight, but if the importance is based on autheticity, well...That'll sure promote original journalism, and cut down on the practise of putting together articles based on other people's leg work.

I am another winner of the Knight News Challenge grant and when they lined the winners up to take pictures I was standing behind Tim, who was very conscious of the fact that he was taller than me - so he started crouching down so the audience could see me.
It was crazy. Before tonight I felt like Sir Tim Berners Lee was a wikipedia page. But he was very human and considerate.
