One Web Day

Today, Friday 25th July 2008, I have accepted to be a "One Web Day Ambassador" for the day, promoting its cause by publishing a story at:
http://onewebday.org/stories/?p=40

It tells the story of how the Internet has changed my life over the past 20 years and I encourage you to read it because it might stimulate some reflection in your mind about a network of networks that we take for granted but is under threat.

OneWebDay is an Earth Day for the Internet that takes place each Sept. 22.
Its main Web page is: http://www.onewebday.org

This year, 2008, is the third OneWebDay. Around the world, we're focusing attention on the importance of the internet to political participation - that's this year's theme. We're also encouraging people to talk about (and do something about) internet issues they're worried about - censorship, the digital divide, inadequate connectivity generally.
The idea behind OneWebDay is to create a platform for a global constituency that cares about the future of the internet. We make progress when we make things visible, and with OneWebDay we're showing this global constituency that it exists.

To start brainstorming about possible actions on 9/22 itself, see:

I highly encourage you to get involved: http://www.onewebday.org
