[Oops] Press statements

[dancefloorlandmine]

Adam Robertson, video producer at Save the Children, on opportunities offered by new technology:

"During the recent HIV/AIDS conference in Bangkok, we ran a viral campaign."*

Think about what you're saying, man!

He also commented, about having video clips on their website "[we] have found that visitors to the site tend to stay for longer." (Presumably waiting for the video to download or start streaming.) "Although it does really need broadband at the other end, we're not far off full broadband take-up in the UK." What are the figures again? So much for making your charity accessible!

*from Third Sector, 4th August 2004, p20

Not to mention video clips not being particularly accessible to people who are blind, unless there's an audio commentary, or deaf, unless it's sound-free or there are subtitles available.

They should have the W3C accessibility guidelines tattooed on their foreheads.

I do hope we get full broadband take up. All I get somedays is bloody ADSL work in exchanges west of the setting sun. A waste of my time & a pain in the arse.
