Subject: Re: The official WWW Hand Gesture
----- Begin Included Message -----
As for WorldWideWeb, it sounds like it matches similar
criteria. It is based on W (middle three fingers only
up, palm away from you). I don't know what "3" is.
(Three fingers together?)
Maybe to distinguish "WorldWideWeb" from "W" it has to be
be modified a bit -- perhaps the three fingers of one
hand (W) meeting the three fingers of the other hand (3)
reminicent of Internet, connection, wire. If something
suggesting "knowlegde" and/or sharing could be snuck in
there then that would be all the better. Is the sign for
"W" backwards (palm toward you) already taken?
----- End Included Message -----
How about this:
- You hold your middle three fingers ("W" and "3") out with palm facing
down (information source).
- Another person holds middle three fingers out with palm facing up
(information need).
- Both people meet and interlace the fingers ("web").
- Each person holds their other hand out similarly, but with the palm facing
in the opposite direction
- Seek out other people with which to randomly interconnect.
- Repeat until it's world-wide. :-)
