USA Today goes web 2.0
- 8 Mar 07, 12:33 PM
, one of America's biggest selling newspapers with a daily readership of around 5 million people, has re-launched their website to include a variety of social networking features.
These new features include things like being able to rate articles, and to comment on them, and even list them by rating rather than by USA Today’s editorial ranking. Users can also create profiles, and get involved in forums.
Some of these things we’ve seen before and will be familiar to users of websites like . Even mainstream press in this country have adopted some of these features. But this is still a significant moment as it is the first major newspaper to roll all these things together.
Sadly, at least some of these features didn’t work with my screen reader. I could neither comment upon nor recommend articles. If you have more success, let me know. And if you can’t get it to work, let USA Today know. It is important that these kinds of changes are accessible. What can be more fundamental than getting the news, and if this is the shape of things to come, then access issues must be addressed.

It's good to see that large web site owners are striving to improve.
Shame about the massively intrusive adverts.
