Beneblog: Technology Meets Society

JANUARY 31, 2014

Last September, I wrote a Beneblog post: Objecting to Accessibility Weaseling , about Amazon and other ebook reader makers trying to dodge out on making their devices accessible. So, last year, Benetech joined with the National Federation of the Blind and over twenty other groups that care about consumers with disabilities to object to an attempt by Amazon and their competitors to secure a permanent exemption from accessibility requirement for many of the ebook readers.

Tags: CMS Linux amazon aws backup drupal s3 I think it is one of the long list of unpredicted successes that resulted from the near-ubiquitousness of open source software on the server side. We’ve been using it for “offsite&# backup for drupal sites for a while now. We have a script going which runs by cron daily to do the backups. There are a number of ways to do this.

We have an action by Amazon that sets back years of work to make ebooks accessible. Print-disabled people of the world shouldn't be surprised that Amazon isn't going out of its way to help them.

Amazon built it, but will developers come? As Frank Bell puts it in his review , SimpleDB is a "web service that simulates a database".

How about Amazon ? One of Amazon’s most valuable assets is its user-contributed product reviews, which are essentially just Amazon connecting people who know something about a product with people who want to know something about a product. Clearly, that’s not all Amazon does, but connecting people is a really important part of what they do. So, is Amazon a social network? While less obvious than eBay, Amazon’s marketplace also rests on a network of people.
