Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web and director of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), will be made a Knight Commander, Order of the British Empire (KBE) by Queen Elizabeth. This was announced earlier today by Buckingham Palace as part of the 2004 New Year's Honours list.

Hey Bill you're next ;-)

Just in case you're reading this Bill, you have to be British, sorry.

Perish the thought. You have to contribute something to the UK to get a knighthood (and as was previously mentioned be British). Not sure Mr G fills either of those roles.

I don't think you need to be born a brit.

Check the Sir Conrad Black fiasco.
