Google Accessible

Google AccessibleSince I'm out to bash Google, it seems, let's look at another pearl taken out of Google Labs: Google Accessible. Making a long story short, there's a big problem nowadays in the World Wide Web - almost every page on the web lacks accessibility, which makes people like the visualy impaired to have difficulty (or even their access blocked) to access those web pages. Since Google Search's job is to give you links to websites about what you want to access, it's easy to understand the idea behind Google Accessible - a Google Search that will only show Accessible pages for that search. So, what's bad? Well, you can start by seeing that the "Google Accessible" website isn't accessible at all!

ErrorThis page does not comply with all of the automatic and manual checkpoints of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, and requires repairs and manual verification.

Once again, joking at their costumers, just because they have many.
