BEST OF WEB

Best of the Web: Video: Magazine-Branded Show (b2b)

Back to Best of Web Winners page

Winner: TechWeb for Internet Evolution

Internet pioneer Stephen Saunders takes a unique journey around the world in this ambitious series to see how the Web affects us all. In every region, from Iceland to Western Europe, Africa to Asia, Saunders creates what he calls a “technology travelogue”—a blend of geek inquisitiveness and daring world travel. While entertaining on many levels, Internet Evolution is tracking how technology evolves in a range of contexts to improve lives. In India, Saunders meets up with a Bollywood producer, in Rwanda a former militia leader—all using technology in different ways. He discovers how geothermal energy is being harnessed in Iceland to mitigate the carbon footprint of massive Internet data centers. He explores the cell-phone Internet of Africa and the politically powerful role of citizen journliasm in Poland. Saunders, the witty and insightful founder of Light Reading and founder of the Internet Evolution site at TechWeb, is the perfect guide to the cultural implications of technology. An exceptional and surprising product of the usually dry IT world, Internet Evolution can stand with the best of cable documentary work. More to the point, it puts business information in the larger context of world culture.


Honorable Mentions:
CSP Information Group Inc. for CSPTV NACS Show Coverage:
Video coverage of conferences is de rigueur, but CSP magazine turned the NACS show for the petroleum industry into a major editorial event, with 20 segments over a three-week span.

InformationWeek Business Technology Network for InformationWeek’s Startup City TV: Call it speed dating for start-ups. In three minutes upstart entrepreneurs pitch the next big thing to editors of InformationWeek and take a good grilling. Who gets to stay on the island?
