Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee stars in Olympics opening ceremony @ ZDNet:

The event showed how digital communications have become part of everyday life via the story of Frankie and June, a pair of kids who hook up via social networking on their mobile phones. At the end, Berners-Lee sat in the middle of the Olympic Stadium live-tweeting a message for the occasion.
