OneWebDay is a celebration of the internet that happens on Sept. 22 each year. It's an Earth Day for the internet, a day to protect and defend the internet and to think about how it has changed lives around the world.

What can you do? 

One way to take part in OWD is to create a video and share it on YouTube, blip or dotSUB. In your video you can explain how the web has changed your life over the past 10 years or talk about your involvement with the web.
If you add a vid to YouTube let me know and I can put in on this lens.

If you upload a video (or photo on Flickr) make sure to tag it with "onewebday2008".

Other ideas include:

Teach your grandmother to blog

Put your digital pictures online

Make a website for your club, church, or school

Post a tribute to a friend online

Make an entry for your neighborhood in Wikipedia

Start a neighborhood mailing list

Talk to your town about getting free wireless access

Run a website-building workshop

(More ideas can be found here.)

Do you have plans for One Web Day?

It's odd how many holidays cluster around that day. It's the Celtic Mabon, the fall equinox, so it's a major holiday for pagans. It's Frodo's and Bilbo's birthday, which has been a major celebration (in a fun way) for millions of people who find it a convenient excuse to throw a Happy Birbday, Bilbo Baggins birthday party. And now OWD too?

I guess there's some dates that just feel resonant to us, even if we've forgotten why (Tolkien hadn't -- all the stuff in LOTR takes place on the Celtic calendar). It's a first harvest holiday, so I guess that works. The web is the first fruits of the 21st century!

I've learned something new today too. I had never heard of One Web Day. The web (and Squidoo) has saved my sanity over the last couple of months, while I try to recover from a nasty condition. It is a great way to stay in touch with the world when you can't get out much - maybe I will make a video about it some time!

Well, I can honestly say that I've learned something new today by visiting your lens on One Web Day! That happens to be the day after one of my sister's birthday. Cool lens.
