The 13th annual Webby Awards unveiled their list of winners Tuesday, and Jimmy Fallon, Trent Reznor and Twitter are among those receiving special achievement honours.
“Late Night” host Fallon was named Internet’s “Person of the Year,” a title given to fellow comedian Stephen Colbert last year. Fallon prepared for his talk-show debut with a series of “webisodes” and regularly uses Twitter to keep in touch with fans.
Twitter itself picked up a top award, Breakout of the Year. The three-year-old micro-messaging service has seen its usage grow by 900 per cent in the past year and follows in the footsteps of such other Breakout winners as YouTube, MySpace and Flickr.
