Webbys Wow with Wicked Wit

It had to be a five-word headline.

On Tuesday night, the Webby awards once again engaged us by highlighting some of the best work in the digital world, honoring the coolest Web sites (or websites if you prefer) and the innovators behind them. They're chosen by the International Academy of Digital Arts & Sciences.

The awards are famous for their five-word acceptance speeches, and this year's did not disappoint. My favorites below:

"The world really is flat."
- Thomas Friedman, NYT columnist and author (Webby Person of the Year)
