			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Web accessibility is the practice you adopt in making websites usable so that people with all abilities and disabilities could use it. When sites are designed, developed and edited correctly, all users will have equal access to the information and functionality. When you design a site such that, the text and images are large or enlargeable, it will be <strong>easier for users with poor sight to understand the content</strong>. When links are underlined or differentiated, as well as colored, it will ensure that the color blind users notice them.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.appsheriff.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/web-accessibility.JPG"><img class="size-full wp-image-2206 aligncenter" title="web accessibility" src="http://www.appsheriff.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/web-accessibility.JPG" alt="web accessibility" width="549" height="365" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span id="more-2204"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">When clickable links and areas are large enough, this helps users who are not able to control a mouse with precision. When you code pages in such a way that <strong>users can navigate using the keyboard alone</strong>, or just a single switch access device alone, this would help users who cannot use a mouse or handle a standard keyboard. In the case of videos, if it is closed captions or if a sign language version is available, then the deaf users can understand the video that is being played.</p>
<p>When flashing effects are made optional or completely avoided, users prone to seizures that are caused by these effects will not be put at risk. And when content is being written in plain language and are illustrated with instructional animations and diagrams, users with learning difficulties are able to understand the contents better. When sites are built and maintained correctly, all of these users could be accommodated while not causing an impact on the usability of the site in the case of non-disabled users.</p>
<p>Many accessibility features could be easily implemented if they are planned initially during the Web site development or redesign. Fixing inaccessible Web sites would require significant effort; especially in the case of sites that were not originally &#8220;coded&#8221; properly using standard XHTML markup, and when it comes to sites with certain types of content like multimedia.</p>
<p>Much of the focus made on Web accessibility has been the responsibility of Web developers. However, Web software has also got a vital role in Web accessibility. Software needs to help developers in producing and evaluating the accessible Web sites, and thus be usable by people with disabilities. Developing guidelines and techniques that would describe accessibility solutions for Web developers and Web software is one of the roles of Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI). These WAI guidelines are considered as the international standard for Web accessibility.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://www.twitvid.com/" target="_blank">TwitVid</a></strong> launches some new features, which improve the way people share videos online. TwitVid.com is the easiest and fastest way to add video to Twitter. The features include real-time video search, video analytics and virtual gifting.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.appsheriff.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/TwitVid-features.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2162" title="TwitVid-features" src="http://www.appsheriff.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/TwitVid-features.jpg" alt="TwitVid-features" width="496" height="262" /></a></p>
<p><span id="more-2146"></span><br />
 Real-time search feature of TwitVid.com allows anyone to see the most popular videos on Twitter. The search engine aggregates all Youtube and TwitVid video links currently being shared on Twitter. Then the proprietary real-time ranking algorithm ranks the videos based on their current popularity, relevancy to the search term and buzz on Twitter, as well as by their freshness, with the newest videos that rank the highest.</p>
<p>Video analytics tool of TwitVid.com is the first of its kind on Twitter, which enables <strong>members to track their videos online by day, week, month or even total number.</strong> It is possible for users to see <strong>how many times their videos have been viewed </strong>or the global location of clicks or even the top people who link others to your video.</p>
<p>Twitter video users can thus evaluate the success of their videos depending on the information about the performance of their TwitVids, gathered by our analytics tool around the web. This is incredibly valuable for celebrities, musicians, publicists, bloggers, marketers and others as a way to evaluate the success of their video campaigns.</p>
<p>TwitVid’s virtual gift feature is enhancing the video tweeting experience by enabling members to interact and connect with their favorite TwitViders.</p>
<p>TwitVid.com is giving users the ability to view, upload and share videos much faster compared to any other app, which is commendable, as in the current world, people are looking for more speed while posting the videos; at the same time they don’t want to sacrifice on quality.</p>
