In the event when Corona virus caused great disruption in the whole world, and people are compelled to stay at home, many people are also falling prone to mental illness like depression and anxiety. I was astonished when I read an article on the asserting that increased isolation and loneliness are affecting people’s mental health and a downfall in the economy is just worsening the scenario. BBC But do you know there are certainly some things that you can do in this Lockdown to curtail the stress and utilize this time more productively? But before starting make sure that you are not stressing on your mental health anymore. You need to believe that no one is fighting alone in this pandemic we all are on the same boat which in turn needs to be accepted and follow a positive approach for the same. Also, don't believe on Fake News. Only trust information coming from trusted organizations like WHO, your State Heath Department or by trustworthy organizations like Berkeley. reports published I saw many people bewailing about lack of time to do what they genuinely love and are passionate about and I can’t think better time than this to follow your passion. But at the same point, there are many people out there who are still battling to find out their passions and hobbies, so in that case, I have shared some of the best time killer activities that you can do in this Lockdown without getting bored. 5 Ways You Can Utilize Your Time Super Productively During The Lockdown 1. Indulge yourself in some physical activity One of the best things you can do in the lockdown is to get fit, it’s not just necessary to keep your immunity boosted, but also to stay happy as when you exercise your body releases happy hormones called Endorphins that reduces stress levels and calms you down. Some of my friends always complained that they are not getting enough time to involve in some physical activity due to lots of work and responsibilities, but now I think is the best time to achieve your desired fitness goals and get that dream body. Physical activity can comprise of anything from Dancing, Zumba, Yoga, Skipping to anything that you love to do to keep your body fit and healthy. So next time whenever you feel low, wear your shoes and kick that stress out of your body. 2. Grab A Book And Start Reading I know for some people this may sound bizarre because they have never touched any books in life due to any reason, but I think in the time of crisis like this, reading books help you to achieve that peace of mind when it is always juggling with endless thoughts. Source: Pexels.com Just like you, I never had any interest in reading books but then to kill my time I started reading and then got addicted to it. You won’t believe that I started diving so deep in the books that I completely felt out of the World and saw a very positive impact on my mind and thoughts. Just a piece of advice Avoid reading any books on destruction that creates a negative aura around you instead of that stick to some motivational and self-loving books like The Power Of Belief, Rich Dad Poor Dad, and you will find a lot more like these on Kindle. 3. Binge On Some Online Videos and TV Series I believe that watching some great TV series and online shows is one of the best time killers, you won’t get how your 3 or more are just gone in the blink of an eye. Nowadays there are several great TV serials and shows available online that you can watch. A few days back when I had a conversation with my friends on this, most of them were grumbling about Netflix subscription as it is a bit expensive and barely anyone wants to spend on it ( especially in the time of crisis). Source: Voot.com But then I suggested them some free apps like which I have been using for quite a long time now where I can watch some amazing and thrilling TV series and shows which barely cost anything. Voot App 4. Register For Online Courses What can be better than gaining some knowledge while sitting at home? If you are passionate about learning new things and always want to upgrade your skills but did not get enough time to do so, then this is the best time to sharpen your skills and learn something great. For instance, you are passionate about photography or maybe writing, then you can unquestionably take some courses that brush up your skills on a more advanced level. This is a great opportunity to utilize your time that adds up some value to your existing skills. 5. Spend Quality Time With Your Family Last and the important one is to spend some great, fun, and quality time with your family. This is a great opportunity to convey your feelings to your loved ones as everyone is together and you will barely get this opportunity again in life. Share your feelings of affection with your family, play with your kids as it is imperative to spread love and happiness in times like this. Source: Pexels.com Remember life is too short to argue, fight, and hold grudges towards someone. Some Don'ts That You Need To Follow As Well Well, I have discussed some of the great activities to stay productive during the lockdown. Here are some things that you need to possibly stay away from in this Quarantine period. Do not spread rumors Do not come in contact with people ( maintain social distancing in your family too ) Do not gather in groups Do not allow people entering your house Do not go out without wearing masks and carrying your sanitizers Do not panic ( if you have some symptoms ) Source: Pexels.com Bottom Line So these are some of the best activities you can do while staying at home apart from washing hands at regular intervals. I know sometimes it becomes difficult to stay active and happy in a situation like this but you need to get out of that zone and start seeing the positive impacts of the same. Be happy that you are alive today and never forget to be grateful for that.

In Lockdown? Here's how to kill your time in times of Covid Crises? 

The scale and depth of opportunities presented by the quickly evolving digital entertainment industry in India is astounding. India is an ideal market for new digital entrants. With a population of 1.3 billion and purchasing power of $9.7 trillion, it is unsurprising that both domestic and foreign players are actively working to enter this market. Media giants such as Netflix, Amazon, and Hotstar are investing significant resources to capture the Indian market. However, none of the current players have managed to gain a significant foothold as yet. We’ve spoken to a range of startups and media giants in the country over the past ten weeks + conducted surveys + in-depth secondary research, in order to better understand the content war brewing in the country. This is what we found: The Market Opportunity Traditional market factors make digital in India an attractive opportunity. To begin with, the country’s media and entertainment industry continues to grow and is expected to reach $34.8 billion by 2021. Internet adoption Contributing to the growing opportunity for digital players is India’s rising internet adoption. In recent years, internet use has grown to an estimated 38%. While this percentage seems low compared to countries like the United States, which boast a 76% penetration rate, when accounting for India’s large population, this still represents nearly 500 million consumers. Additionally, converting the remaining 62% is a large opportunity and makes the market very attractive. Fortunately, digital hopefuls do not have to wait long to receive the benefits of this growth, as penetration is expected to reach the 60% mark by 2020 assuming current trends persist. While there is a large population living with low disposable income, the country’s striking income inequality creates large — in total numbers — middle and upper classes. These classes have been the largest drivers of internet adoption in the country to date. While controversial, this fragmented internet adoption creates opportunities for digital players who now understand that part of their strategy to win this key market is developing solutions accessible to India’s poorer and rural populations. Mobile phone adoption Moreover, increased use of smartphones and cellular data creates new access points for the internet, especially for poor and rural citizens for whom internet adoption is low. The entry of mobile network Reliance Jio by giant Reliance Industries jumpstarted growth in India’s internet use. Since launching in September 2016, the company has “acquired over 100 million users — many connecting to the mobile internet for the first time in their lives.” The introduction of Jio has increased not only the total number of users now accessing online content on their mobile devices, but also the amount of consumption happening on those devices, as the data pricing is now a much lower barrier for price-sensitive consumers. The Evolving Digital Viewer India’s first digital consumers were male millennials who lived in urban areas. However, as internet and mobile penetration increase in the country, the profile of the average digital viewer is shifting dramatically. Between 2016 and 2017, the largest growths in digital usage occurred among three segments: women, older millennials, and rural populations. Women Women, particularly those in smaller cities, are gaining online access at a fast rate. According to Hotstar’s , women in cities with populations between 1L and 10L increased online usage growth by a magnitude of three between 2016 and 2017 compared to two times growth for women in metro areas and cities with at least one million inhabitants. This trend is attributed to the increased availability of affordable smartphone options, which allows both women and those in rural areas to access online content on their mobile devices for the first time. This increase in women internet users is also important because women wield a great deal of purchasing power, controlling 44% of household spending. The India Watch Report 2018 Millennials India’s millennial population features strong purchasing power, increased internet access, and sheer volume at over 400 million people. The Indian population is relatively young when compared to other major markets such as China and United States. In fact, according to Morgan Stanley, India is on-pace to be the youngest country in the world by 2020. In addition, they are more educated and globally connected than previous generations, expecting content and information to come to them rather than needing to actively seek it out as older generations did via print and television channels. With these factors at play, it is unsurprising that millennials, and to a lesser extent Generation Zers, are a driving force in India’s increased digital consumption. With mobile and digital adoption (generally) inversely correlated with age, it is therefore unsurprising that consumer brands are targeting India’s millenial and Gen Z populations as key demographics to capture. Rural India While people in major metro areas saw a 3.5 times increase in consumption, it was in smaller cities where the jump was most pronounced — a whopping 4.3 times the rate of 2016. Debunking popular thought that metropolitan areas are so-called “cities that never sleep” and therefore have higher consumption than smaller areas, our research has proven that overall consumption as well as binge watching are highest in smaller areas, where their populations stay awake much later than those in large urban areas. Changing Consumption Patterns India’s population is increasingly gravitating towards digital media over legacy options in print, TV, and film. According to eMarketer, “digital will take up nearly a third of daily media time in India”. This year, the average adult will spend an estimated 1 hour 18 minutes per day with digital media. Control, convenience and quality The first India Watch Report 2018 has highlighted some interesting shifts in consumer habits. The new generation of consumers prioritizes control and convenience. Online video consumption has grown by 5x in the past year, and web series are gaining traction as viewership numbers for some of these series begin to exceed the most watched online TV shows in India for the first time. Interestingly, the report also notes that over 96% of Hostar’s watchtime came from videos that were over 20 minutes long: which leads us to believe that consumers are willing to invest time in high quality content. In terms of genres, sports and Bollywood films continue to drive the highest engagement, with comedy and drama series coming second. Regional Content A second key shift is the growth of the popularity of regional content. India has over 125 million English speakers: online, English is still India’s dominant language. Elite/affluent viewers (see appendix for a definition of this demographic) primarily consume content in English: this demographic is projected to increase from 8% to 16% by 2025. However, 70% of these users also view content in other languages. Importantly, a recent study by KPMG India Google found that nearly 70% of Indians consider local language digital content more reliable than English content. The regional language OTT market is growing at 60–65% every month, while regional content comprises nearly 45% of India’s overall online video content consumption. Additionally, by 2021, an expected 201 million Hindi users — 38% of the Indian internet user base — will be online, according to the same study.Given the rate at which its demand is growing, regional content is expected to comprise 20–25% of the overall digital consumption in 2018. The shift to creating regional content has just begun, and will be a key driver of growth in of content consumption in Indian markets going forward. Personalised content Another shift in consumption patterns, highlighted through our interviews and consumer survey, was the move from family viewing to individual content consumption. We think this shift is worth noting, as the move from a family-based to private setting creates the opportunity to create more personalized, contemporary content for various demographics. The Current Landscape Domestic Players Like many other countries, India’s digital scene has been targeted by both local and foreign players. Additionally, it includes both legacy players adjusting their business lines to include digital offerings as well as new entrants focusing on digital-first and often digital-only strategies. With over 100 million subscribers, India’s streaming market is estimated at $280 million. As of 2017, the top five over-the-top (OTT) providers were Hotstar, Voot, Amazon Prime Video, SonyLiv, and Netflix. OTT Players Hotstar (an entertainment platform launched by Star India, one of India’s largest media conglomerates, wholly owned by 21st Century Fox) is far and away the leading provider. Hotstar has 75 million users compared to the next in the list, Voot, which only has 15 million users (though its parent company, Viacom18, claims this figure is closer to 22 million users). As Jonnalagadda notes, “Hotstar, for instance, has the digital rights to HBO shows in the country, and streams episodes the same day they air in the U.S. That’s obviously a huge pull, as is the fact that Hotstar has exclusive rights to stream cricket and football games in the country.” Game of Thrones Legacy studios India is the largest producer of films in the world in terms of quantity: the industry generated $1.9 billion in 2016. Several of the country’s largest studios, such as Dharma Productions and Red Chillies Entertainment, have signed content deals with Amazon and Netflix: as the war for high quality content and recognizable stars heats up in the country. However, these studios are yet to enter the online series content creation market. The one standout player in this space is AltBalaji, a subscription-based video streaming platform launched in 2017. The company is a subsidiary of Balaji Telefilms Limited, one of the largest content production houses, and India’s leading television content creator. This platform could be another significant player in the domestic content creation market, given their focus on creating original and tailor-made shows. Media startups The other categories of players worth mentioning in the domestic digital content space are a) startups focused on creating short-form/snackable content and b) online web series targeted towards millennials and mainly distributed through social media such as The Viral Fever, FilterCopy and All India Bakchod. These players typically have been operating for 3–4 years, raised a Series A round, and employ a data-driven approach to content creation. In addition, there is c) user-generated short-form content distributed primarily through Youtube produced in Hindi or other regional languages, and targeted at Tier 2 and Tier 3 city consumers. Both these players are notably different from the legacy production houses for their digital-first and targeted approach to content creation, and culture. International Players The top international (based outside of India) players are Netflix and Amazon. Both players have announced that India is one of their priority markets globally, and are investing millions of dollars into developing original local content. Amazon is producing 20 original series, while Netflix is aiming for 7 this year. Both companies have are also investing aggressively in growing their libraries of licensed Indian content: Amazon has secured the TV rights to Bollywood star Salman Khan’s movies, while Netflix has won global streaming rights for movies produced by Shah Rukh Khan. In 2015, Netflix announced its plan to aggressively pursue its international expansion plans, with India among its targeted markets. Aside from offering more Indian content, its rollout and offering in India is remarkably similar to that of other markets, having roughly the same price of 500 rupees, which is very close to the $7.99 charged in the US and other markets until recently (prices began rolling out to $9.99 starting October 2015). However, it might be the company’s one-size-fits all approach that ultimately leads to its undoing as a viable contender in this increasingly competitive space. Since launching in India, Netflix has not changed its pricing, even as competing offerings entered at lower price points. Additionally, Netflix’s India office is primarily focused on sales & marketing. Their licensing and original content teams sit in Los Angeles: this lack of local engagement could hamper their understanding of India’s complex market. As of this writing, it is industry consensus that Netflix is losing the race in India with only five million monthly users due its high price point and dwindling content library. It will be interesting to see how the company responds to its competitive advantage and market share. Another major factor in Netflix’s decline in India is the entry of Amazon. Amazon is thought to have invested upwards of $2 billion in its India entry since 2016, offering pricing discounts and other incentives to attract users. In addition to being considerably cheaper than Netflix at 999 rupees for an annual subscription (roughly the equivalent of two months with Netflix), Amazon benefits from providing the video service as part of its larger e-commerce bundle. Additionally, this price point is a small fraction of its US equivalent, which would be over to 6400 rupees instead. Amazon has astutely recognized the need to price this market differently from its other locations, slashing its price to compete with lower cost options such as Hotstar and no-cost options such as Voot and pirated content. This strategy has proven successful, with Amazon attracting an impressive 11 monthly subscribers users as of this writing, over double that of Netflix. Overall through, both platforms have low subscriber figures: Amazon had a little more than 600,000 Prime Video users at the end of 2017 while Netflix had 520,000 subscribers. We believe the real threat to Amazon and Netflix in India is Reliance Industries’ Jio. Jio’s parent company has already acquired a 24.9% stake in AltBalaji and a 5% stake in Eros International in 2018, and is currently in conversations with several production houses. The corporate giant is looking to build a foothold in India’s $20bn media & entertainment sector, through original content licensing and regional programming deals, having already reached 130m subscribers through its wireless network. Our Take: Opportunities and Gaps The significant diversity in consumption patterns, based on age, gender, geography and socio-economic status in India also builds the case for the creation of more niche, personalised and highly relatable content. We believe that the ‘one size fits all’ model of Bollywood will not work in the digital entertainment space, as consumers begin to prioritize control and convenience. There is still ample room for new players and approaches, even as the competition for Indian eyeballs heats up. Digital content will need to be increasingly tailored by age, gender and region, as the profile of users coming online changes. We are particularly excited by the opportunity to create more women-focused content that shows women in new roles given their increased (i) numbers online, (ii) literacy rates, (iii) influence in family and society, and (iv) rise of their spending power. We also believe that regional content will overtake English content in the next 2–3 years, as the use of regional language users has grown from 42m to 234m in the past five years, and this growth is projected to continue at 18%, while English language users coming online are projected to grow at 3%, over the next 5 years. On the other hand, we think monetisation of this content will be a challenge amongst this demographic, given the low willingness to pay and low household buying power across rural India. We think there be significant consolidation in the increasingly crowded OTT space, with a handful of players emerging as winners. However, we believe there is space for new content creators, and think building the supply chain/pipeline for talent amongst content producers, will be fundamental. There is an opportunity to move away from the traditional studio model of content production, to streamline a long and expensive process, that has not kept up with consumption patterns, and to support new voices and talent in this quickly changing market. From a storytelling perspective, we are excited by the opportunities for new influencers and the space to tell stories about a rapidly urbanising India: we would bet big on rise of reality TV. We think the demand for more relatable characters will continue to grow. This article was published by Candace Jones (@candacej) & Natasha Malpani, who are both Stanford MBA Class of 2018 students. Over the past ten weeks, they have conducted interviews with several digital platforms in the country, undertaken secondary research and surveyed over 200 consumers of Indian digital content in order to explore the opportunities and challenges presented by this complex market. This project was supervised by Stanford’s ex-Dean.

The War for Attention: Conquering India

YouTube has over a billion users — almost one-third of all people on the Internet. A platform which garners more than 30 million visitors per day. 5 billion videos are watched everyday and on an average, a view session lasts more than 40 mins. Now as an E-Commerce marketer how do you utilize YouTube as a platform to reach out to the right set of people who go on to install your app as well as make a purchase? Or as a Food Delivery app how do you reach out to people who have a propensity to buy food from your Website/App? Or as an OTT (Netflix, Hotstar, Voot etc) major how do you reach out to people who watch a particular kind of content (lets say kids, or an original show that no one is aware of). Now, here I won’t be talking what most Elvin and Chipmunk are doing & only discuss less popular strategies on YouTube: Best example to showcase here would be Netflix. So while marketing House of Cards they created several versions of the trailer. But chances are, the version of the trailer you got to see was different from the one that the site presented to me. That’s because Netflix was using ten different cuts, geared towards different audiences — and presented them to viewers based on their past viewing behavior. 1. Segregate Your Audience While running Remarketing Campaign on YouTube, instead of running all visitors as a Remarketing List, breaking down the Audience lists is quite helpful. For E-Commerce break it down to Cart Abandoners, (break down further to 1 day, 7 days and more.) Product and Category Page Visitors. 2. Retarget Your Audience We can also target users basis session time spent (no need of targeting users who’ve been on the site for less than 20 seconds). While we create Retargeting Campaign, it’s necessary we create a Remarketing List of the video we are showing off as an Ad. When this lists populates with a significant number we can target users who did not convert even after high view rates and show them a Bumper Ad with a different Ad messaging. We can also perform Basket Analysis to know next best affinity of the products and categories. (It’s just like the people who view shirts page also visit the page for jeans/trousers or the people who have watched Roadies on YouTube also have a tendency to watch Splitsvilla). Making separate Remarketing Lists and cross Retargeting can help you achieve wonders. One more hell of a . How do you market something like ‘F.R.I.E.N.D.S’ that went off air 12 years back and make it seem relevant to the audience on YouTube. They came up with top watched YouTube videos and picked up keywords from the video title. So if you are watching a video of cute cat, Netflix would show up its Ad ‘Smelly Cat Clip of Phoebe’ and if you are searching for dance moves; small clip as an Ad of ‘Monica and Ross with their Dance moves’ would show up. 3. Club Keywords with Top YouTube Content strategy by Netflix Similar , where they identified high affinity genres and frequently searched terms on YouTube. Based on this, they launched multiple contextually relevant, fun and quirky Bumper Ads towards driving incremental reach and frequency. strategy was implemented by Set Wet There’s still a lot that can be done with a billion people on YouTube, but as Seth Godin Says – “Anticipated, Personal & Relevant Advertising Always Does Better Than Unsolicited Junk.” Authored by: | Business Analyst Rishabh Nigam

Recipe for Powerful YouTube Performance Marketing

Historically, people with disabilities have faced significant barriers to using their right to vote. In the digital age, online voter registration platforms must provide users with high-level accessibility access. High accessibility standards are not optional — they are vital to making democracy work for everyone. However, accessibility barriers could create difficulties for people with disabilities, from registering to vote independently and efficiently to preventing them from casting their votes. A recent report from the Rutgers Program for Disability Research estimated that about 40 million people with disabilities were eligible to vote in 2024. So, the absence of their voting could result in different election outcomes. A recent report, "The State of Web Accessibility for U.S. Voters with Disabilities," by QAwerk, a software testing company, reveals the accessibility level of 43 U.S. online voter registration websites. It shows that 65% of them have medium or low accessibility levels, presenting significant barriers for voters with disabilities. Here are the most common accessibility issues identified by QAwerk's report for over half of the U.S. online voter registration websites. 1. HTML Errors The most prevalent issue identified in the study was the presence of errors in HTML code, which were found for 98% of online voter registration sites. Only one website out of the 43 we tested had no errors in its HTML code. It was Utah. Why is it important? Valid HTML markup makes it accessible for assistive technologies, such as screen readers, to interpret and understand the content of a web page. Screen readers are essential for blind and visually impaired users, allowing them to navigate websites through auditory feedback. For example, incorrect attributes can cause screen readers to misinterpret interactive components, like buttons, leading to user confusion. Best practices to avoid HTML code errors include regularly validating HTML using tools like the W3C Markup Validation Service, incorporating linters into your development environment, and implementing automated testing for validation, accessibility, and performance. 2. Missing or Poorly Labeled Input Fields Proper labeling of input fields is another critical aspect of web accessibility, especially for individuals using assistive technologies like screen readers. According to the report, 33 out of 43 websites (77%) have inadequately labeled input fields, making it difficult for users to understand and complete forms. Only 10 websites out of the 43 we tested had no issues labeling input fields. These were Illinois, Kansas, Arizona, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, and the District of Columbia. For instance, without labels, screen readers might not announce the purpose of form fields correctly, leaving users confused. Best Practices include clearly labeling all form fields with descriptive language and associating them with their elements using HTML tags while providing examples of correct input and identifying mandatory fields with text labels. 3. Low Contrast Between Text and Background Color contrast between text and background is crucial for users with low vision or color blindness. QAwerk's data shows that 23 out of 43 websites (53%) failed to provide sufficient contrast, making it difficult for users to read important information. WCAG 2.2. guidelines suggest the visual presentation of text and text images has a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1; large-scale text and images of large-scale text have a contrast ratio of at least 3:1. Improving color contrast is a relatively simple yet impactful fix that developers can implement to significantly enhance the readability of their websites for all users. It can be fixed by following WCAG contrast guidelines, using tools like WebAIM’s Contrast Checker, and ensuring sufficient contrast between text and backgrounds, including when using images. 4. Missing Link Purpose The "Missing Link Purpose" error is a critical accessibility issue that arises when the purpose of a hyperlink is not clear from its context or the link text itself. When link text is vague or generic (e.g., "click here"), screen reader users may not understand where the link will take them or what action it will perform. 53% of online voter registration sites lack a link description, which can confuse users who rely on screen readers as the destination of the link or action required is not stated. Take the Massachusetts state election site, for example. Here, the text “Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts” contains a link, but there’s no description of its destination or action required. Check the purpose of each link is clear from the text or its context, use descriptive link text that makes sense independently, and add a title property for additional clarity when needed. 5. Lack of Clear Error Messages When users make mistakes while filling out online forms, it's essential that error messages are clear, concise, and easy to understand. Unfortunately, 44% of voter registration sites tested did not provide clear error messages, which can lead to user frustration and prevent them from successfully completing their registration. The Delaware state election site contains this accessibility issue. Here, the user’s error isn’t clearly marked or described. Only the word “Required” indicates that the field is mandatory. The borders of the field are not highlighted in red. Website administrators should check that forms have real-time validation and provide clear guidance when errors happen. Final Thoughts Creating a digital environment that guarantees equal access to the voting process for everyone is not only a technical challenge; it’s a fundamental commitment to inclusivity and democracy. Accessibility should be our ongoing effort. Websites must be retested regularly, especially as they get updated and new content is added. Historically, people with disabilities have faced significant barriers to using their right to vote. In the digital age, online voter registration platforms must provide users with high-level accessibility access. High accessibility standards are not optional — they are vital to making democracy work for everyone.

According to the report, 33 out of 43 websites (77%) have inadequately labeled input fields, making it difficult for users to understand and complete forms. Only 10 websites out of the 43 we tested had no issues labeling input fields. These were Illinois, Kansas, Arizona, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, and the District of Columbia. For instance, without labels, screen readers might not announce the purpose of form fields correctly, leaving users confused. Best Practices include clearly labeling all form fields with descriptive language and associating them with their elements using HTML tags while providing examples of correct input and identifying mandatory fields with text labels. 3. Low Contrast Between Text and Background 3. Low Contrast Between Text and Background Color contrast between text and background is crucial for users with low vision or color blindness. QAwerk's data shows that 23 out of 43 websites (53%) failed to provide sufficient contrast, making it difficult for users to read important information. WCAG 2.2. guidelines suggest the visual presentation of text and text images has a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1; large-scale text and images of large-scale text have a contrast ratio of at least 3:1. Improving color contrast is a relatively simple yet impactful fix that developers can implement to significantly enhance the readability of their websites for all users. WCAG WCAG It can be fixed by following WCAG contrast guidelines, using tools like WebAIM’s Contrast Checker, and ensuring sufficient contrast between text and backgrounds, including when using images. 4. Missing Link Purpose 4. Missing Link Purpose The "Missing Link Purpose" error is a critical accessibility issue that arises when the purpose of a hyperlink is not clear from its context or the link text itself. When link text is vague or generic (e.g., "click here"), screen reader users may not understand where the link will take them or what action it will perform. 53% of online voter registration sites lack a link description, which can confuse users who rely on screen readers as the destination of the link or action required is not stated. Take the Massachusetts state election site, for example. Here, the text “Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts” contains a link, but there’s no description of its destination or action required. Check the purpose of each link is clear from the text or its context, use descriptive link text that makes sense independently, and add a title property for additional clarity when needed. 5. Lack of Clear Error Messages 5. Lack of Clear Error Messages When users make mistakes while filling out online forms, it's essential that error messages are clear, concise, and easy to understand. Unfortunately, 44% of voter registration sites tested did not provide clear error messages, which can lead to user frustration and prevent them from successfully completing their registration. The Delaware state election site contains this accessibility issue. Here, the user’s error isn’t clearly marked or described. Only the word “Required” indicates that the field is mandatory. The borders of the field are not highlighted in red. Website administrators should check that forms have real-time validation and provide clear guidance when errors happen. Final Thoughts Final Thoughts Creating a digital environment that guarantees equal access to the voting process for everyone is not only a technical challenge; it’s a fundamental commitment to inclusivity and democracy. Accessibility should be our ongoing effort. Websites must be retested regularly, especially as they get updated and new content is added.

Top 5 Accessibility Issues in U.S. Voter Registration Sites and Ways to Fix Them

In a major leap for Web3 technology, Rocket has teamed up with M3 DAO, MetaMars, and VooPay to build a transformative alliance focused on reshaping the digital economy. This coalition combines a diverse range of expertise and resources, setting a new precedent for a cohesive, user-centered ecosystem in the Web3 space. By uniting, the four companies aim to accelerate innovation, enhance user experiences, and create a seamless integration of blockchain capabilities. The alliance draws parallels to successful collaborations like those of Ethereum, Chainlink, and Aave. Each contributes distinct capabilities: Ethereum offers a robust foundational blockchain, Chainlink provides reliable oracles, and Aave enables decentralized finance (DeFi) lending and borrowing. This synergy has fueled the growth of over $75 billion in Total Value Locked (TVL) across DeFi platforms, proving the power of collaborative efforts. Building a Unified Ecosystem in Web3 Historically, the Web3 landscape has been fragmented, with individual projects struggling to gain traction independently. Each member of this alliance has made strides in their respective fields: M3 DAO has advanced in decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) governance, MetaMars has pioneered metaverse development, and VooPay has broken new ground in cryptocurrency payment solutions. Their shared vision centers on a unified Web3 ecosystem, where users, developers, and project teams are interconnected, fostering rapid and collaborative growth. M3 DAO, known for its community-governed digital ecosystems, integrates the metaverse, Layer 2 blockchain solutions, and digital asset management. MetaMars empowers users within a Mars-themed metaverse, while VooPay revolutionizes Web3 payments, bridging the gap with traditional financial systems. Recognizing the need for cooperative innovation, Rocket joined forces with these pioneers to create an ecosystem that enhances accessibility, interactivity, and value for users. Powering Growth Through Collective Strengths Rocket, M3 DAO, MetaMars, and VooPay aim to replicate the success of previous influential collaborations by combining their unique strengths. As an IDO launchpad, Rocket enables early-stage projects to secure funding and gain visibility. M3 DAO's extensive community of over 100,000 members facilitates widespread engagement and support for new initiatives. MetaMars enhances the user experience with interactive metaverse features and NFT trading, while VooPay provides seamless crypto payments, making digital transactions more accessible to the masses. Together, they are not just individual projects but part of a powerful Web3 ecosystem that aims to enhance each project’s value through synergy. By collaborating, they reach wider audiences, elevate user engagement, and maximize their community benefits. This partnership not only advances the Web3 landscape but also offers significant value to individual users, enabling them to engage more deeply in decentralized technologies. Upcoming Initiatives: Innovation and Expansion Rocket, M3 DAO, MetaMars, and VooPay have outlined an exciting roadmap that promises to energize the Web3 community. Among their planned initiatives are fundraising campaigns backed by M3 DAO’s large community, immersive virtual launch events with MetaMars, and streamlined payment solutions through VooPay, simplifying access to IDOs and cryptocurrency transactions. Through exclusive perks, including priority access to new offerings and unique NFT rewards, they aim to build excitement and loyalty within their community. Collaborative marketing efforts will amplify their reach, fostering a vibrant ecosystem that continuously evolves. These initiatives are expected to drive significant growth, benefiting users and partners alike as they push forward into a more connected Web3 future. Meet the Players Rocket: An all-in-one launchpad for blockchain projects, Rocket provides a streamlined platform for project incubation and funding.

The HackerNoon Newsletter: Startups of The Year: How To Vote (10/22/2024)

It’s time to support the best startups! You learned how to nominate, now it’s time to learn how to vote for your favorite company. Vote for your favorite startup now! How to vote Go to an industry or region page
Look for your chosen startups
Click “Vote” next to the company name. One True Vote This year, startups can belong to up to 3 industries but only 1 parent category and 1 location. This means there are higher chances for your startup to claim the winning spot on multiple rankings. You can spot where a startup has been nominated on the startup card, right after its name and logo. You'll see its location and the industries it's been nominated for. Clicking on these will redirect you to the corresponding page. See it here ⬇️ Now, on the flip side, you can only vote for a company once: if you vote for a company using one filter (e.g., a specific industry), your vote will not count again if, in the same session, you vote for the same company using a different filter (e.g., another industry, or via location). Once you’ve voted for a company - it will become a universal vote regardless of how you find the company through different filters. The good news? The chances that a startup is discovered and voted for this year are increased 4 fold! How we weigh votes We weigh votes to elevate the voice of our contributing writers further, reward verified expertise, and prevent spam. HackerNoon published writers' votes count as 10, authenticated users' votes count as 3, and unauthenticated visitors have their vote count as 1 (pending spam reviews). The reasons for this are: The contributing writer, by publishing their words and expertise on Hacker Noon, has earned the right to have their voice count the most when it comes to who deserves HackerNoon rewards.
Authenticated users have a much lower spam rate so their votes should count more. We want to continue to ensure that anyone can vote. All users can vote once on each award in voting season.

LJUBLJANA, Slovenia, October 17th, 2024/Chainwire/--OriginTrail, the ecosystem striving for a safe internet in the age of AI with its decentralized knowledge graph, was named the best project at the prestigious MIT Decentralized AI Summit. Held at the MIT Media Lab, the summit brought together top innovators, researchers, and industry leaders to explore the future of decentralized AI technologies. The packed schedule saw contributions of representatives from Dell, Intell, NVIDIA and other notable AI companies. In his talk, the founder of OriginTrail Branimir Rakic explained how OriginTrail’s decentralized knowledge graph powered by Polkadot acts as a critical infrastructure in addressing some of the internet’s most important challenges in the age of AI such as misinformation, deep fakes, fake news or unreliable AI in a broader sense. The pioneering approach to powering trust in AI stood out amongst the numerous showcases at the event and led to being voted as the best project by the participants of the Decentralized AI Summit. This recognition highlights OriginTrail’s expected impact on driving mainstream adoption for both AI and Web3 technologies across diverse set of industries, from Real World Assets (RWA) in global supply chains, Decentralized Physical Infrastructure (DePIN) connecting knowledge of organizations and individuals, to advancements in improving AI models through federated access to training data. “We are thrilled to see that OriginTrail is evolving in the direction many other industry giants are identifying as the cutting edge. I was particularly excited to hear many speakers highlight the importance of deploying the AI solutions at the edge of the network, where AI solutions with more sustainable resource use and privacy preserving data management can be implemented. It’s something that OriginTrail has been working on to enable for the last year and we’re excited to unveil it next week (Oct 24th) at the DKGcon in Amsterdam with the release of the DKG Edge node. And, of course, I wish to thank the participants of the event that selected OriginTrail as the best project of the DecAI Summit, it’s a great vote of confidence for our future work.” - Branimir Rakic, Founder at OriginTrail. As the pathologies of the state-of-the-art AI solutions become more evident, the demand for trustworthy AI solutions being developed at the intersection of Web3 and AI grows. OriginTrail is determined to continue to lead that charge by driving mainstream adoption of this critical infrastructure to enable a safe internet in the age of AI. About OriginTrail OriginTrail is an ecosystem dedicated to making the global economy work sustainably by enabling a universe of AI-ready Knowledge Assets, allowing anyone to take part in trusted knowledge sharing. It leverages the open-source Decentralized Knowledge Graph that connects physical and digital worlds in a single connected reality driving transparency and trust. Advanced knowledge graph technology currently powers trillion-dollar companies like Google and Facebook. By reshaping it for Web3, the OriginTrail Decentralized Knowledge Graph provides a crucial fabric to link, verify, and value data on both physical and digital assets.
