Internet 'in running' for Nobel Peace Prize

Baack · Mar 11, 2010

The internet is among a record 237 individuals and organisations nominated for this year's Nobel Peace Prize. The number of nominations surpasses last year's record of 205 nominations.
The internet's nomination has been championed by the Italian version of Wired magazine for helping advance "dialogue, debate and consensus".
The director of the Nobel Institute, Geir Lundestad, told BBC News that the organisation had received "thousands of nominations" for the coveted prize.
"Some were nominated by one person, others by 10, others by 100," he said.
The secretive organisation does not release the list of nominees, but nominators sometimes announce their choices.

Does this mean Al Gore will get the prize, since he knows he invented the internet?
