Stephen Fry meets Tim Berners Lee

Submitted by Åke Johansson on December 6, 2007 - 20:14

In a column called Dork Talk in The Guardian, Stephen Fry blogs about a meeting with the father of the web -- Sir Tim Berners-Lee -- and wonders if Tim isn't the greatest living Englishman. And a modest one at that.

Sir Berners-Lee is by the way working on a browser application for the Semantic Web called The Tabulator used to browse RDF data on the web.

Anyhow, I have also always been annoyed with "dot co dot bloody uk" everytime I visit a site in Britain...
