Of VeriSign .Com Gala Tonight — Live Coverage

VeriSign celebrates 25 years of .com this evening.

VeriSignI’m off to San Francisco for the 25 Years of .Com Gala this evening. The event will be hosted by one of my favorite comedians, Dana Carvey (Saturday Night Live, Wayne’s World, etc).

The evening will celebrate the “.com 25” honoring “remarkable innovators, entrepreneurs and firms whose inspiring contributions were fundamental in shaping the Internet and, thereby, forever changing the way we think and act as individuals and as a society.”

Possible honorees to the .com 25 include Al Gore, Amazon.com, Google, Napster, Vint Cerf, and eBay.

I’ll try my best to cover the event live via Twitter, assuming there’s good cell phone coverage at the gala. You can follow me on Twitter at @Reglike.
