Vincent François, AccessiBlogue (2010-03-29) - "Heading navigation in web browsers"
All screen readers that I know of have keyboard shortcuts that allow the user to navigate within a web page by jumping from heading to heading. This can really speed things up when you want to skip to a particular section of a page […]

W3C (2010-03-05) - "YouTube Turns on Automatic Captioning for All Videos"
YouTube may be one of the biggest success stories of the Web 2.0 era, but if you are hearing impaired, the site is only of limited value. Starting today, however, Google will begin to offer auto-captioning for all English-language videos on YouTube. Until now, only videos from a select number of YouTube's partners were captioned using the Google's automated speech-recognition software […]

Jean-Marie d'Amour, AccessiBlogue (2010-03-03) - "Web Accessibility Preferences Are For Sissies?"
Several years ago I read an article by Garrett Dimon titled “User preferences are for sissies” (available at archive.org, also see this 37signals article). The general idea is that when you present preferences to the end user it typically indicates that you screwed up or are a sissy – either you are forcing the user to account for a poor design or usability decision, or you are too indecisive to make the decision to begin with and thus place the burden to decide upon the user […]
