    riesurya,
    memang hanya penekanan seputar:
    - tidak ada garansi
    - SEO hanya sebagian aksesibilitas web
    - investasi kemanusiaan :)

    Well..., its Red-A, ha ha, remembering me that comercial breaks on TV... :D

    The firts issue may be all about expressing something freely, but the second in the line all about blogging is sharing (except close the blog and make it private).

    Its just my feeling or something else I don't really understand, when come to firts think, I became careless and wrote as many as it could happen. But the next line give me a sense that I just can't become careless if I wanna share something.

    Gezzz, it is the "Simalakama" :D

    ganda,
    for the targeted users. they might not need e.g. mobile and blind users.

    in some countries, for disabled people, there are accessibility rules/laws.

    Cahya,
    then, theoretically, try to give them what they want. find the correct crowds. connected with people. :)

    IC IC... then accessibility is not first priority right? I think it is for a kind of commercial site, not a personal one. cmiiw

    ganda,
    yup, I think e-commerce sites need usability and SEO/SEM more often rather than universal accessibility.

    RNID says it's for deaf and hard of hearing people.
    Sorry, but I still don't get it clearer.
    Aren't they still able to WATCH and READ sites' content?
    [RNIB.org.uk gives me 502 bad gateway..]

    Mas Dani, do you think they have misspelled the URL on http://www.rnidteaser.co.uk/page4.html? It said rnib.org.uk.
    Should it be rnid.org.uk? This one works well..

    abbie,
    they are deaf people. so multimedia web-based application should be accessible too, right?
    Google and other search engines do not have eyes, ears and hands too, right? Just like disabled people. :)
