29/10/2007
In October 2007, the British Library brought together four icons of the Internet, each with a remarkable record of entrepreneurial achievement and a unique insight into what makes the difference between a \'flash in the pan\' and a real online success.

The event noted that the climate for Internet start-ups is electric, with entrepreneurs and investors eager to find the next big opportunity. The UK internet scene has never been so exciting with the advent of Web 2.0 opening the floodgates for new social networking sites, wikis, blogs and an array of new, user-generated online ventures.

Webcasts from the Internet Icons event are now available, featuring:

* Martha Lane Fox, co-founder of lastminute.com
