    Tim Berners Lee

    http://express.howstuffworks.com/ep-berners-lee.htm

    He drives an old Volkswagen Rabbit and works for a non-profit organization located at M.I.T., a leading engineering university. Married with two children, Tim leads a good life, one that is full of professional challenges. He is pleased with the road he chose to follow. Today, he helps set standards and guides the Web’s future, so he can be assured that it will remain open to all and not be splintered into many parts or dominated by one corporation
    The rest is silence...

          The WorldWideWeb (WWW) project aims to allow links to be made to any
          information anywhere. The address format includes an access method
          (=namespace), and for most name spaces a hostname and some sort of path.

          We have a prototype hypertext editor for the NeXT, and a browser for line mode
          terminals which runs on almost anything. These can access files either locally,
          NFS mounted, or via anonymous FTP. They can also go out using a simple protocol
          (HTTP) to a server which interprets some other data and returns equivalent
          hypertext files. For example, we have a server running on our mainframe
          (http://cernvm.cern.ch/FIND in WWW syntax) which makes all the CERN computer
          center documentation available. The HTTP protocol allows for a keyword search
          on an index, which generates a list of matching documents as annother virtual
          hypertext document.

          If you're interested in using the code, mail me [email protected]
          Another great invention by that genius Threaded.
