GENEVA: The fraying World Wide Web needs to rediscover its strengths and grow into maturity, its designer Tim Berners-Lee said on March 11, marking the 30th anniversary of the collaborative software project his supervisor initially dubbed "vague but exciting".

Speaking to reporters at CERN, the physics research centre outside Geneva where he invented the web, Berners-Lee said users of the Web had found it "not so pretty" recently.
