Noesis: VeeSee

Hmm; a counter point to the previous post, Alison was able to point out some issues with VeeSee. I decided to do some more research (I apologise for posting before doing co earlier!). I think her comment to my previous post is well founded. Perhaps, as I come form a country ahead there is precious little sign language available, that I tend to get excited whenever I see that more may be more accessible to a wider audience...

Noesis: VeeSee: "VeeSee is a website that has been launched in the UK by an interpreter, Susie Grant. The site is operating under the Deafeatures Ltd.

Before I go any further, I really want to be positive about online development, but I'm really struggling here. More about that later. The site has a very strange mix of web 1.0 content and design, mixed with a web 2.0 approach through a social network. On the face of it, the site offers:"

Thanks for the link. I agree re the need for more sign language online, just needs to be with Deaf people at its core.

No problem - yours is a well thought out piece. I'll comment on that later. I don't know of any Deaf Bloggers or people who vlog from SA, but I shall ask a lady who works with us sometimes,to see if she knows anyone, as she has better connections into the Deaf community than me. I would imagine that anything we do have would be in its infancy here, due to connectivity issues for many South Africans. Perhaps you could point me at some good blogs & vlogs?
