The official Coldplay site have today announced that they been named in the Honorees List for the Celebrity/Fan category at this year's Webby Awards (which are a bit like the Oscars for websites).

I thought, man, Satriani is going to be laughing all the way to the bank from this. It’s the best thing that’s ever happened to him; It was nothing less than a PR coup d’état.
