No Comments on Fixing Alt – Facebook Like Button Explained

The next in our “Fixing Alt” series is the Facebook Like button explained posted on MakeUseOf a while back. It’s a short but sweet comedic image, but again, with no alternative text provided. So here it is.

Facebook Like button, equals: I’ve read it, but I’m too lazy to comment!

PS: There are so many other things wrong with the MakeUseOf web page. But since my New Year’s resolution is not to be as critical, I won’t go into it.

Now on Facebook

Web Axe is now on Facebook! If you’re on Facebook, please give me a “like”! I plan to post the best of the best there fairly regularly, but not too often (maybe every other day). I may even do a poll or two.

Yea, I know it’s somewhat ironic, maybe even a bit hypocritical, that I’m on Facebook since it has major web accessibility issues (with no captioning support, just one of many Facebook issues). But nonetheless, I’m there. All things considered, it’s the biggest social network in the world; it’d be silly not to take advantage of that in spreading the word about web accessibility.
