[nabs-l] Recording NABS meeting

[Peter Donahue]

Hello Sarah and listers,

    I wonder if CNN, Fox News, NASA, and other sites that contain lots of 
video, some of it going back a long way, worry about how often someone views 
it. The NFB itself has a large online video library for site visitors to 
view should they choose to do so. The point is to draw visitors to the site 
by offering engaging content that gets our message across and not worrying 
about how often it's viewed. If the parents of a blind child view videos on 
our sites and received the encouragement, inspiration, and help they needed 
to raise their expectations as to what kind of a life their blind child can 
have then we've done our job.

    There's another matter that bears comment.  The national office places 
video content on the in-house server that hosts our Web site as well as on 
sites such as uTube. Provided there is sufficient disk space on the server 
our affiliates should do likewise. If this content is placed on uTube 
exclusively there's a danger that the good folks at uTube could change their 
interface in such a way that blind persons could no longer access them. 
Placing the video content directly on the host server will insure that blind 
persons and their friends will be able to enjoy them regardless of what 
uTube and company does to their Web interface. That's the latest from here. 
Happy Memorial Day everyone.

Peter Donahue
