OneWebDay: September 22, 2006

The Web has changed millions of lives. Just two months from now, on September 22, we'll be celebrating the first OneWebDay. 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. In short, it's like an Earth Day for the Internet--a day to stop and think about what the Internet means to us.

Add the OneWebDay Button to your site and get together with friends in your town to plan an outdoor celebration with an online component that people elsewhere on the Web can appreciate. Put a link on the OneWebDay wiki In New York's Bryant Park, San Francisco's Union Square, in London with the Lord Mayor, near City Hall in Austin, in downtown Chicago, in downtown Portland, Maine, all over Canada, and in Naples (Italy), and Canberra (Australia), OneWebDay will be celebrated for the first time on Sept. 22 -- and those are just the celebrations we know about.

The goal of OneWebDay is to make the Web, and our individual connection to it, visible -- so that we don't take it for granted. We make progress when we make things visible.

Wow this is great! Since 1999, I've been organizing One Internet Day in the Philippines. Will do one again and make it happen on this day to celebrate OneWebDay as well.

I know I'll be celebrating OneWebDay here in Ireland
