     One Web Day

Today - don't blink - is One Web Day, a festival of warmth and fuzziness from the digital exceptionalists who conceive the world in terms of 'netizens' (a self-conscious online elite, apparently mostly living on-campus in the US) and 'online community'.

The 'mission' of OneWebDay is

to create, maintain, advance, and promote a global day to celebrate online life: September 22

The Web is worth celebrating.

OneWebDay is one day a year when we all - everyone around the physical globe - can celebrate the Web and what it means to us as individuals, organizations, and communities.

As with Earth Day - an inspiration and model for OneWebDay - it's up to the celebrants to decide how to celebrate. We encourage all celebrations! Collaboration, connection, creativity, freedom.

By the end of the day, the Web should be just a little bit better than it was before, and we'll be able to see our connection to it more clearly.

The crueller sceptics would presumably ask 'One Telephone Day'? 'One Ink & Paper Day'?
