Craziness w/ google maps using an 'alternative interface' (eg. voice recognition). Try to zoom into a map using keyboard accessibility!
by Wesley Hodgson at 8/19/2008 6:35:57 PM
D created a keyboard accessible environment using the gmaps api with their default interface elements disabled. He then used some button elements (easy to use via keyboard) to add the interface.

Flickr example.
Can't "click" on the image title to edit it with only a keyboard. However they have a simple workaround: supply an alternative link. In the sidebar there's a text link to edit the title/tags/etc.

Derek is talking about exposing nubbins on the 37signals sites (BaseCamp specifically). ;)
by Wesley Hodgson at 8/19/2008 6:45:16 PM
Simple accessibility thing: label elements around radio/checkbox elements. duh.
However, what happens when a disabled person gets on a site that DOESN'T do this? They can use a user-script (greasemonkey?) to resize the radio buttons.

"Flickr is driven by joy." Nice quote. That's how I imagine it!

Talking about using the Operator firefox add-on to leverage microformat locations used in google maps. Makes it really easy/fast to add locations to an address book.

CMS section in the microformats wiki. Lots of plugins available for popular blogs/etc... wordpress, mt, etc
by Wesley Hodgson at 8/19/2008 7:41:41 PM
getsatisfaction.comGood example of user signup process. Uses microformats to grab user info from other web sites so you don't have to fill it all in again.

Single box sign-up form. Scrapes internets for your hCard and gets all your details that way. You just enter a url/nickname/whatever and away it goes.
by Wesley Hodgson at 8/19/2008 7:50:09 PM
Consider implementing OpenID in addition to hCard, but don't sacrifice user experience.|

Must learn more about Agile project management. Clearly I need to read that Web Redesign 2.0 book I bought about 1.5yrs ago. It's been in the to-read pile for far too long!

ps. it's late in the conference, but I just realized that if anyone wants to join in on the live-blogging here just send me an @somnambulant reply on twitter. I'll send you an invite.
