A little while ago, I mentioned that a couple of Canadian sites were nominated in the Online Journalism Awards, unfortunately, when the winners were chosen this past Friday, neither the globeandmail.com nor CTVNEWS.com won in their category. For the record, BBC Online and Slate were the big winners of the night, each capturing the relevant General Excellence award.

The whole MSN brouhaha of the past few days inspired interesting article in The New York Times—which serves as an excellent primer on the idea of Web standards and an explanation as to why the Web is so unlike the traditional one-way media.

But I think the best thing to do is to leave the last words to the man who actually invented this whole thing: Tim Berners-Lee.
