The Internet, which was nominated but lost to Chinese human rights activist Liu Xiaobo last year, is up for the Nobel Peace Prize again this year. This year's 241 nominations surpassed last year's 237 and included the controversial site WikiLeaks, Russian human rights group Memorial, the European Union, and African human rights activist Sima Samar.Past winners, members of international parliaments and law and poli-sci professors submit the nominations, but the actual winners are decided by theNorwegianNobel Committee's five member panel. And while last year an Internet win may have seemed like a longshot, this year it has paid enough dues for a nod.
