The Eircom Spider Awards were held last night in Dublin and it’s clear that web and tech were the big winners.
Paddy Cosgrave was given an “Outstanding Achievement” award for his part in bringing the Web Summit to Ireland last month, which saw SpaceX founder Elon Musk come together with An Taoiseach Enda Kenny among other big hitters in the web and tech world.
Most importantly for us however, our very own TheEffect.Net co-founder Chris Jones won the first ever Digital Future Star award, highlighting his mastery of digital media and the web. (We’ll never hear the end of this award now…)
Other notable winners were Eamonn and Brian Fallon who won the ‘Internet Hero’ award for the work on Daft.ie and TheJournal.ie.
