webby speeches

So the Webbys have just happened which is quite a big thing in the digital industry. Well to win one is quite prestigious but those in the know really don't care about winning one. Anyway it is “The Oscars of the Internet” and the really nice thing about the award ceremony is that you are only allowed to give five word speeches. And some are classic. Here are the highlights....

Artist of the Year - Beastie Boys: Can anyone fix my computer?

Lifetime Achievement - David Bowie: I only get five words? Sh*t, that was five. Four more there. That's three. Two.

Social Networking - Facebook: I'm just here for Bowie.

Blog - Cultural/Personal - TreeHugger.com: Don't shit where you eat.

The Reggie Bush Project: Finally a Bush everyone loves.

DIYNetwork.com: Now, let's get hammered.
