UW’s Landweber inducted into Internet Hall of Fame

Al Gore has been inducted into the Internet Hall of Fame. So has Wisconsin?s Larry Landweber.

I?m betting you know all about Gore, the former vice president and U.S. senator who is occasionally the butt of jokes on late-night comedy shows. While Gore didn?t “invent the Internet,” as he once claimed in a weak moment, he made essential political contributions during its formative years.

I?m also guessing you know next to nothing about Landweber, who along with Gore and 31 others made up the inaugural class of the Internet Society?s Hall of Fame, announced in late April in Geneva, Switzerland.
