The death of Aaron Swartz, the Reddit co-founder and internet freedom activist who is reported to have killed himself in New York on Friday, prompted a flood of tributes on Twitter.
Given Swartz's status as a committed and prominent advocate for online freedom, it was fitting that Tim Berners-Lee was among those to honour him. The inventor of the world wide web was one of many friends, colleagues and supporters who took to social media to pay their respects.
