November 2, 2006 To continue with my recent rants on alt tags, their importance, and proper use, I wanted to further my stance on this subject with Google backing me.

Google has been, and continues to work on «Google Accessible,» a Google search engine built specifically for the seeing impaired. It will rely a lot on the same ranking procedures as Google, with the exception of the heavy weight given to sites that are easily conveyed to the vision impaired. This can include making the pages easy to read, preventing visual clutter, and yes, proper use of the alt tags.

On a personal note, this is a great thing for our online community. I really like seeing Google push further for the better of the Internet by accommodating the needs of not only the mass population, but those with disabilities as well.

Professionally, this, with the impending suit against Target, will only help to validate my argument that this is a subject to be taken, and dealt with seriously.
