Among the other inductees were “fathers of the Internet” Robert Kahn and Vinton Cerf in the pioneer category; world wide web inventor Tim Berners-Lee in the innovator section; and Nancy Hafkin, who helped spread Internet use in Africa, in the global connector category.

Gore, whose actual quote in 1999 was, “I took the initiative in creating the Internet,” was praised by the Internet Society as a global connector for “sponsoring legislation that funded the expansion of and greater public access to the Internet.”

AOL is launching an online video network that will gather its programming onto one platform, the latest bid by a major Internet destination to be a player in Web television.

AOL On will pull from some 320,000 short-form videos from AOL and its many publishers. The company also announced seven new original series.

The event Tuesday was part of the inaugural Digital Content NewFronts, in which digital outlets like YouTube and Yahoo are presenting their programming slates in the style of television upfronts.
