The rise of the Internet has undoubtedly had a profound impact on society, and Web masters have played a vital role in developing the Internet, says Go Daddy. Having a good Web master is crucial to any company with an online presence, as they are responsible for the content and stability of the website.
Go Daddy says it wanted to recognize the importance of Web masters by officially honoring these professionals with their own celebratory day. According to the press release, "if newspaper carriers, cartoonists, doctors and hairstylists all have their own day, it's time for Web masters to receive the same recognition."
Web masters organizations say they appreciate the recognition and are helping to promote the special day.
"The Internet wouldn't be where it is today without this underappreciated group who keep content on the 'net fresh," says Bob Parsons, Go Daddy CEO and founder. "I think a day to remind everyone of how vital Web masters are is way overdue."
Visitors to the Go Daddy Webmasters' Day site can select a card to send to the person responsible for their website. The selected card will be automatically delivered for free on April 29.
