The Accessibility Channel is keeping busy for the first World Usability Day. The channel says, “it’s going to be a 24-hour, round-the-world webcast featuring dozens of accessibility experts, policy developers, and advocates for universal design.

“You will be able to see and hear these presenters on any Windows PC with a broadband connection, and communicate with them by text in a chat window. All presentations and the text dialog will be archived and put on a blog for continuing discussion.”

Wow. Text dialog. That’s not something I see often. Of course, it would be hypocritical if it covered accessibility and didn’t ensure everyone can access the information.
