Accessibility poster around the BBCThere are a number of posters placed around our floor at Internet blog towers today as part of World Usability day. We probably would have missed it were it not for the internal email we received from the BBC FM&T Usability and Accessibility team (who also put up the posters):

...In companies all over the world usability professionals, designers and developers are today celebrating World Usability Day. Good usability and accessibility makes sense both from a commercial and ethical standpoint. Fantastic strides have been made over recent years in the development of user experiences which are easy, accessible and enjoyable...

Here's a list of UK events that are taking place today on the World Usability day website. There's also a Usability day crossword puzzle the U & A team sent me that you can download and have a crack at. (NB: There are no prizes and I don't want you to send me your completed crosswords. If you get stuck let me know in the comments and I'll get the answers out of the Usability team here.)

Paul Murphy is the Editor of the Internet blog.

    Great poster! Your usability team rocks.

    Anyone celebrating World Usabilty Day may be interested in reading this article from Website Magazine that reviews usability tools http://bit.ly/32mqlQ

    I am affiliated with http://www.usertesting.com but the article covers several other tools as well.

    This is the first time i came up with World Usability Day, i guess very less people know about this. Definitely content pulls the users to come back and back for new content on the site, sometimes i rather find quite
    hilarious to see people looking for new websites with good brand than the old one with good content. By the way Amanda's usability tools were very good for my work. Thanks
