I’m pretty lame at blogging bookmarks, but I’ve found a few juicy things recently.

Promote the Vote is a fantastic site promoting the vote (obviously) for people with learning disabilities which has been led by Speaking Up in my home town Cambridge. Great design, content and videos. Designed by Easy Read Online.

On a similar theme of accessibility, it’s good to know that Google are sorting out automatic captioning for videos on YouTube.

Broadband NotSpots let’s you check broadband availability in your area. Not sure how accurate it is, but useful for a rural project I am working on at the mo.

Carl Haggerty wrote a very interesting post about whether Council websites should be more community based:

My key point here is, without any external pressure, would councils have taken a more community based approach to their websites instead of being forced to deliver services online that offered no value initially.

Philip John blogged a request asking for ideas about widgets for hyperlocal sites. This is a heroic effort to make democracy more accessible, which I take my hat off to (well I would if I was wearing one). I’m looking forward to seeing what gets developed.

Ok it’s not new, but I found some great articles on sketching on the Adaptive Path site.

Phew that’s enough for now.
