WebWord Weblog Posting Posting Date: August 06, 2002 Re: AccessiBlog updated -- "If the Blog is supposed to collect all articles and research on the web, it has woefully missed the mark. Perhaps that is your goal, but it's premature to announce your success. You missed an awful lot. Not a useful site." (Comments: This is part of an email written by Anne Pemberton. She is talking about Joe Clark's AccessiBlog web site. It is entertaining and informative to watch how people act and react.)

I think the notion that one site could over every darn resource on a topic is silly. The Internet is just too big for that. Does Webword cover every usability article ever written? No! Nor could it ever hope to. Does that mean it's of no use at all? Of course not. When I find an article that hasn't been linked from Webword, I use the "URL submit" feature (cool idea, John) to alert John about it. Ms Pemberton could have done the same.

The first sentence should read "cover every darn resource". Looking back at the thread, Joe does claim that "essentially every article ever published online on Web accessibility is linked there." That does seem a rather confident assertion.
Yes, and terminally boring straight-guy nerds are, as ever, incapable of envisioning my uttering that statement with my hand on my hip and a knowing roll of the eyeballs. The impossibility of a complete resource is acknowledged in the irony of the declaration to the contrary. And no, I'm not changing it. Either you get it or you don't. And now there will exist a Googlable solution to this vexing mystery of the ages. Posted by: Joe Clark on August 7, 2002 06:28 PM
