Just a quick post to tell you about some interesting items on the web. First of all the interview Dan Rubin and me gave after our talk at Webmaster Jam Session in Atlanta on making accessibility sexy has finally been released: Designing Accessible Web Sites

Secondly, over at the YUI Theater Todd Kloots of the YUI team has a great tech talk about creating web widgets that are accessible to screen readers using ARIA: Developing accessible widgets

Enjoy!

YouTube just announced a new feature that you can deep-ink to a certain time of the video by adding a time stamp to the URL. I was working on this for EasyYoutube, too, now I am just waiting till the API supports it natively, too (you can already jump to a time but the URI splicing and detection would be cool).

To jump directly to a certain time in a video, just add the time stamp with a URI hash

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=qie-N8idatc#t=1m54s

They are also detecting timestamps in comments and link them directly. There is a slight problem that YouTube automatically redirects you from www.youtube.com to yourcountry.youtube.com (for example uk), and that breaks these links! I’ll pester my contacts to look into that.

Well done YouTube!
