Hello, Happy New Year from Canada. I recently joined your list, as I am keen on keeping informed on how my peers around the world are dealing with technology accessibility and day-to-day life as someone who is visually impaired.
I wanted to let folks know that I have created a group on the professional networking platform LinkedIn called Web 2.0 Accessibility Forum, whose focus is, as its name suggests, a group on all topics relevant to Web 2.0, next-generation web technology, and accessibility. Like it or hate it, Web 2.0 applications, such as Youtube and Facebook, along with next-generation web technologies are gaining momentum in their adoption and use in place of HTML alone to build rich internet experiences. The objective of this online community therefore is to bring together: users with disabilities who have experience interacting with Web 2.0 and related applications; individuals working on accessibility efforts to make aspects of Web 2.0 and next-generation web technology accessible; and the broader community of Web 2.0 and next-generation technology developers and champions to learn about and collaborate on ways to make these applications as accessible as possible. The URL for the group's page is http://www.linkedin.com/e/gis/1605077 - Note that if you are not a LinkedIn member, you will have to register. I should say that as a screen reader user myself, LinkedIn is one of the more accessible professional networking platforms out there, which is partially behind why I decided to house the forum there.
