CSS image maps

"Traditional image maps, though, don’t work well with text-only browsers, and they aren’t as efficient or versatile as many newer techniques."

Handy. And just in time. I need to do an image map, and was wondering what to do with it.

Bridging the many digital divides

From the World Summit on the Digital Divide: we know about the language, cost and sexual divides (mostly English, cost of computers education and mainly men) but hadn't thought about this point:

"There is a commercial divide. E-commerce is linking some countries and companies ever more closely together. But others run the risk of further marginalization. Some experts describe the digital divide as one of the biggest non-tariff barriers to world trade."

This is quite serious, not just for the foundry down the road, but also between countries. For sure the UK ties to the US are strengthened, but without other counties it makes the internet a poorer place in competition and in depth of character. I wish more could speak English, and more were able to blog.

From ITH: The 400,000 residents of Luxembourg have more Internet capacity than all of Africa's 760 million inhabitants.
And: At the meeting's conclusion, some said one of its greatest achievements was that government leaders from a broad spectrum of countries had unanimously embraced the Internet as a key to their political progress, economic growth and social development.
