Just to clarify, he did not invent the internet. It was Tim Berners-Lee. TBL, born 1955, is currently a senior researcher and holder of the 3Com Founders Chair at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). He is also a Knight Commander (second-highest rank in the Order of the British Empire). Wiki him. While you're at it, look up Philo T. Farnsworth. He invented the television. These are good guys to know about. Al Gore probably made that claim because he, like most people, does not know who actually invented the Internet. And continues to make sure it stays royalty-free. We (should) all owe him a lot. But he chose not to profit from it. Thanks Tim!

Giant Global Graph (GGG) was notably used the first time by the inventor of the World Wide Web, Tim Berners-Lee, on his blog. Tim Berners-Lee thinks about the social network itself that is inside and between social-network Web sites such as Facebook. He assumes that people can use the word "Graph" to distinguish these from the "Web". Then he says that, although he called this graph the Semantic Web, maybe it should have been called the "Giant Global Graph". "GGG" has been used several times by Berners-Lee and by others in other blogs. GGG may be described as the content plus pointers of the WWW transitioning to content plus pointers plus relationships plus descriptions. Nerd: Dude who needs the world wide web when you can have the Giant Global Graph!
Brother: Get a life. GGG stands for good, giving, and game. Like my girlfriend... |

The guy who invented the World Wide Web (not the Internet) so you must respect him. Tim Burners Lee is not how you spell his name, unfortunately.

To achieve god-hood is to get all your code through all the W3C Validators. Tim Berners-Lee just validated his Online Style Guide at W3C. About time, man.
