Gore to Get Lifetime Award for Internet. Seems reasonable: he did invent it, after all.

Al Gore may have been lampooned for taking credit in the Internet’s development, but organizers of the Webby Awards for online achievements don’t find it funny at all.

In part to “set the record straight,” they will give Gore a lifetime achievement award for three decades of contributions to the Internet, said Tiffany Shlain, the awards’ founder and chairwoman.

It’s worth noting that the Webby Awards are notoriously left-leaning.
