Introducing AccessiWatch
Hi guys,
I guess this is the right place to post this. Please forgive me if it isn't.
Those of you who know me through Twitter know I am an accessibility activist of some sort, regularly sharing links of value on everything related to a11y, best practices, standards, disabilities, inclusion, legislation, production, assistive technologies, government and so on.
Lots of people seem to appreciate these, but I found that the very nature of Twitter makes it really hard to keep track of all the nice gems we find weekly. I have been collecting these links for quite some time and recently decided to compile them on a little blog on Posterous. It's nothing fancy, just blog entries for everyone of those links, along with relevant tags to find them again easily. I'm progressively adding up my monthly archives backwards as I keep adding new content each week. At the end of each week, I'm posting a blog entry called "weekly roundup", showcasing every link shared during that week. Pretty much the same thing Russ Weakly has been doing on web standards for the past few years (Links for light reading), but dedicated exclusively to web accessibility.
Overall, it's proven quite useful for me in the past as I produce content, do research and stuff, so I thought I'd share it with the world (never liked delicious so this was the alternative for me). Hopefully, you'll find it useful as well: : http://dboudreau.posterous.com/
And yes, like most services, the accessibility of the interfaces isn't up to par with the standards we've come to expect, but I'm slowly fixing that up. So bear with me. It will, eventually. ;p

Hi Denis!
Can't think of a better place to put this, so here it stays!
It's a good resource you publish and I hope others find it of use.
As for me, I've just added AccessiWatch to my own Blogroll!
Cheers mate!
