Hi All, An article on Web Accessibility policy in Europe was recently featured on the social news web site Digg.com. http://digg.com/design/The_EU_will_*require*_Web_accessibility_by_2010. Digg is a news site where users can submit stories. Users can watch for stories as they are submitted. They will then vote on whether they think they story is interesting. If they do, they "digg it." People can also comment on stories. If the story gets enough "diggs," it will make it onto the home page of the Digg.com. Stories that make it onto the home page of Digg.com get lots of traffic. Web development articles and tutorials will frequently make it on to the homage. For the web accessibility story, you can follow the different comments that people make. From the comments, you can tell there are a lot of misconceptions about web accessibility as well as lots of opportunity for education and outreach. Digg is very popular, one of the top 150 most visited sites on the net. If people find great web accessibility articles, Digg.com would be a great place to submit them. If the article makes it to the home page, A LOT of people will read it. Sincerely, Justin Thorp
