韦比奖出炉 《愤怒的小鸟》获最佳掌上游戏

    Humor, online hits and social good mixed at the Webby Awards — the Internet industry’s version of Hollywood’s Oscars.

    “Sometimes, geeks* can be chic*,” Vogue magazine Editor-in-chief Anna Wintour said after actor Daniel Radcliffe from “Harry Potter” film presented her with a Webby for best fashion Web site.

    IBM computer “Watson,” known for beating top human players on television game show “Jeopardy!*,” was named “person of the year” at the 15th annual Webby Awards.

    “Person of the year, ironic*,” a computerized voice speaking for the machine said while receiving a Webby from show host actress Lisa Kudrow, who suggested the machine jazz up its image by dating* an iPad.

    “That was clever,” Kudrow said. “You’re quite the word processor*.”

    At more serious moments, awards paid tribute to Egyptian protesters who used Twitter and Facebook in an uprising to oust* Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and an Ushahidi service launched to map violence that followed a 2008 election in Kenya.

    “Injustice, oppression, social media equals revolution,” Egyptian filmmaker Mohamed Diab said in accepting a Webby dedicated to* his people. (SD-Agencies)
