Ahh, let's see. Let's go to my favorite
website. Logging in, typing the address...
Inaccessible...what?!
Well, of all the --
Oh, hi there!
Gosh, I was trying to access my favorite
site, and I keep getting this error message
Has this ever happened to you? Have you ever
tried to access a site from a coffee shop,
home, work, or even the public park
and for some reason you keep getting a message
like this [sound of record screeching] and wondered -
is it just me? Am I normal?
Oh my goodness...did I break the Internet?!
Maybe you called up a friend to see if they had the same problem
♫
♫
I'm still stuck with no real answer to my Web troubles.
Herdict Web is here to help!
With Herdict Web, you report when you have a problem accessing the site
♫
By sharing data
with Web users around the world,
Herdict Web shows you what site is inaccessible, where it's inaccessible
and for how long it's been inaccessible. With Herdict Web
I can keep track of a site's accessibility over time,
find out what sites are the hardest to reach
and what countries have the hardest time reaching sites
I can do it through the Web site Herdict.org
or by downloading a handy plug-in for my Web browser
♫
And by sharing on Herdict,
I join a whole herd of Web users
who keep an eye on how accessible the Net is all over the world
Herdict.org...The Verdict of the Herd
