Former UK PM Joins Web Foundation – But He Really Should Join Twitter
Former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown, ousted in this year's election, is forming the Gordon and Sarah Brown Foundation, and has accepted three pro-bono appointments all with some connection to the Web. He's joining Queen Rania of Jordan’s Global Campaign for Education. Queen Rania has 1,337,872 followers on Twitter and last year spoke at Le Web. Brown is also working on a new programme to bring the internet to Africa and
joining the board of Tim Berners Lee's World Wide Web Foundation.
If you recall, just prior to the election in May, Brown launched a policy initiative to put £30m into an "Institute of Web Science" which would have been headed up by Berners-Lee. That centre has been cut dead by the new government, so perhaps Brown joining BL's Web Foundation is a sort of thank you?
