I covered this in my Jim Boykin buys WebmasterWorld live blog coverage but it didn’t really get noticed here.

Ted Ulle, aka Tedster, one of the most giving individuals I know in the search community, was awarded with WebmasterWorld’s first and maybe last, Lifetime Achievement Award.

Ted has been the administrator of the Google forum for the past five or more years and been involved in the community for over 13 years. He has over 37,000 posts on the public site and over 20,000 posts on the private site. He gives his life to webmasters and does so with huge class.

Brett Tabke, the founder of WebmasterWorld, wrote in a WebmasterWorld thread:

Congrats Tedster, it is well deserved but honestly, we all owe you a heck of a lot more than just this recognition.
