v7.2 - moving along, a point increase at a time

Club Admiralty Blog

A blog about life in general, in as many languages as I can manage. Ενα ιστολόγιο περι ζωής, πολυγλωσσο - σε όσες γλωσσες εχω μεράκι να γράψω.

Web 2.0 and ADA compliance

Since my computer went kaboom (in a manner of speaking), I haven't been able to do some things that require multimedia.
One of these things is watching youTube...or rather fully enjoying the various antics people post on youTube because in order to fully appreciate the video you are watching, you need to hear what is being said, or have some sort of closed captions be part of the video (at least if you have a hearing impairment). This lead made the little gray cells think about other web 2.0 destinations and how accommodating they are for users who have some sort of auditory or visual disability - or rather the complete lack of it.

I am sure that I am not the only one who has thought of this, so I am wondering why more work isn't done to provide some accommodations.
