The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)

Posted by editor on May 5, 2008

We all know how powerful the realm of the Web is and how one can get lost in the vastness of its many potentials and harms. When a group of people realized that it is time to safeguard the Web’s capacity through certain standards, an organization was created in order to promote web technologies and common guidelines for everyone using the Web. Founded by Web pioneer Tim Berners-Lee in 1994, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is an international consortium with a mission to “To lead the World Wide Web to its full potential by developing protocols and guidelines that ensure long-term growth for the Web.” With organizations like W3C, we can be assured that the Web will constantly be improved for the advancement of society.
