NEW YORK - Al Gore may have been lampooned for taking credit in the
Internet's development, but organizers of the Webby Awards for online
achievements don't find it funny at all.

In part to "set the record straight," they will give Gore a lifetime
achievement award for three decades of contributions to the Internet,
said Tiffany Shlain, the awards' founder and chairwoman.

"It's just one of those instances someone did amazing work for three
decades as congressman, senator and vice president and it got spun
around into this political mess," Shlain said.

Vint Cerf, undisputedly one of the Internet's key inventors, will
give Gore the award at a June 6 ceremony in New York.
