The Mark of Accessibility at IBM
For those who haven’t yet heard, there’s some great news for anyone with a need for accessibility-friendly software - Mark Pilgrim has joined IBM as an ‘Accessibility Architect in the Emerging Technologies group’. Mark says that his role is not only web-related, but even so, it has to be a good thing to have someone as switched on about the topic in a role that has the word Accessibility in the job title (rather than the usual scenario where someone with an interest in the topic has to try to influence without having the necessary clout to back it up).
Congratulations Mark.
