Web inventor is 'Greatest Briton'

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/4214473.stm

I agree, he's done more for the net than anyone else and he's been the head of the W3C for ages now - they are the organisation who set the web standards like HTML, CSS, XML etc.

I wish I knew him personally but one of the IT trainers in work went to school with him, small world...

Yes, I thought for a minute that it was Best Briton ever... which would beg the question, where the hell is Jim Bowen in such a list?!? Only when I read the article did I breathe a sigh of relief :D
