[Nfb-web] Beyond the Browser

[Peter Donahue]

Good afternoon everyone,

    Some information I've been reading about content rendering got me to 
wonder if anyone has been testing their affiliate Web sites on devices other 
than PCS to see how they render or if they can be accessed at all by folks 
using them. I'm talking about smart phones, PDAS, Braille displays, e-book 
readers and game consoles capable of displaying Web sites, televisions, and 
other devices that are able to access the Internet and display our Web sites 
to help us spread our message via devices other than standard Web browsers.

    Given the continued proliferation of these devices this is a topic 
worthy of our attention and a great item for next year's Webmasters Meeting 
Mr. Chairman? Perhaps we need to start designing our sites so they will be 
available too, and will render properly on devices other than a PC and its 
Web browser to allow us to take the federation's message to places 
unimaginable. I'd like to hear what people's experiences have been when 
trying to access their affiliate's Web site on devices other than computers. 
This is a great one for thought.

In caverns deep a burning snare,
He shot from heaven a piercing ray,
And the dark treachery brought to day.”
