The notion merits consideration: These incredibly 'inaccessible' services are some of the most incredibly accessed on the web.


The times, they are a'changing.

I've been observing (with some horror) the changing face of the web. Ebay, Google etc, Blogs galore, YouTube and that other 'explosion of mediocrity' : flickr.

I had a quick (and unscientific)  look around at random pages, and found:

Blogger                         705 errors
ebay                              135 errors
Flickr                             14 errors,
YouTube                         217 errors
Google maps               68 errors,  and so it goes  on.

These things are indeed 'incredibly accessed' these days, and growing. The web will soon be part of the 'Media Centre' in everyone's homes (PC's? : Long gone!). And where/how does accessibility feature with web phones?

In ten years, folk will look back and roar with laughter at 'those guys' faffing about making stuff accessible and neurotically worrying about 'standards'. . .

But then, maybe I'm just getting old . . .   :-)
