Who needs Twitter's 140 characters? Five words were enough for the winners at the 13th annual Webby Awards ceremony, where Biz Stone, co-founder of Twitter, took the prize for breakout of the year.
 
Sticking to the Webbys' tradition of acceptance speeches limited to just five words, he said: "Creativity is a renewable resource."
 
Also at the ceremony, Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane was honoured for his web series Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy. Said MacFarlane: "What is this for again?"
 
Arianna Huffington, whose Huffington Post won for best political blog, said: "I didn't kill newspapers, OK?"
 
Jimmy Fallon, cited for using the internet to flog his taking over NBC's Late Night, said: "Thank God Conan got promoted."
