This is for Everyone: the Tweet Heard Around the World

Author(s) and publish date

Published:: 30 July 2012

Tim Berners-Lee, London native, inventor of the World Wide Web and Founder and Director of the W3C was celebrated on stage during the 2012 London Olympics Opening Ceremony on July 27 where he live tweeted 'This is for everyone.' What better venue than the Olympic Games, which inspire young people and bring competitors together, to recognize Berners-Lee's role in history and his continued advocacy that the Web, built on open standards, remains available to everyone, everywhere. Congratulations to Sir Tim! Learn more about Tim Berners-Lee and about W3C.
