World Wide Web = 10

I had an interesting day last week at W3C10 - the 10th anniversary celebrations of the formation of the W3C. Of course being held in Sophia Antipolis near Cannes in France helps with the journey - but anyway - along with the backslapping French and EU governmental notables, Tim Berners-Lee gave a good presentation about the challenges facing commercial entities as we grapple with the notion of open standards. It was ironic that this followed an equally good overview about Vodafone and their 'walled garden' that is Vodafone Live. Nevertheless a good day was had and jeez, if Tim Berners-Lee thinks and understands as fast as he talks, then we are in for another incredible 10 years.
