Had to look that one up:
Wikipedia
Abbreviation technique I hadn't seen before. It stands for
"accessibility" (first and last letters of the word, with middle eleven letters
replaced with the number "11").
Some social media thing, I'd wager.

>That way, roughly 30% of a website it readable. Without it,
roughly 99% of the same website would be readable.
The last "readable" should be "unreadable".
That sentence should read:
"That way, roughly 30% of a website it readable. Without it,
roughly 99% of the same website would be unreadable."

I recently worked for a small council - I was in charge of getting the councils
website accessibility up the table. I got it from ~500 and into the top 10 and
learned that if you do the accessibility first - i.e. make everything simple and
clean and direct - and all HMTL then the need/desire for flashiness disappears.
Two points:1) Its really easy to fix HTML/simple asp stuff - several orders of
magnitude easier than clever flash wizzbang stuff. Its easier for the user to
describe what the problem is which is 99% of the work done.
2) see 1)
