I expect this will degrade the experience for anyone using a screen
magnifier. We find that even relatively small tooltips hide a large
proportion of the viewport when using magnification levels above x3, and
these popups are a lot bigger.

A magnifier user will typically move around the page by dragging the mouse
to one edge of the screen (they only use the scrollbars when they reach the
edge of the page), so they will often hover over links unintentionally,
particularly graphical links since they are typically bigger than text
links.

I think it would be quite unpleasant to have these things pop up all the
time, especially as they may entirely fill the viewport.

Subject: [WSG] Does this hurt accessibility

Dear members,

We are thinking of implementing this service
http://www.snap.com/about/spa1A.php on our web site, and our question is, if
you think that it can hurt our site accessibility in someway?

We sure will implement the <noscript> tag if that solves the problem.

Thanks a lot for your kind suppport.

Best wishes,

John
