will do! Also, could we run a session too? People seem to be able to run sessions on whatever they want from what I have seen. There are tons of banks and stuff running "lessons" on accounting. lol. As a buisness myself, it would be a great session to attend!

Businesslink are working with brightTALK to promote non-standards compliant, non-Free, inaccessible media (see attached email).
Does anyone feel like emailing them, asking them to demand a better service from their partners?
You could ask them to request valid HTML and use of standards compliant tags for dynamic content rather than using proprietary plugins like flash. Additionally brightTALK are intending to patent their software; UK government money is funding their software patent applications. See http://www.brighttalk.com/pages/patents-pending.
This is especially relevant as the content in question relates to is web technology (online social media etc.).
Thanks,
Sam.
