SignWriting List April 12, 2000 Dear SignWriting List Members: Back on January 31st, our SignWriting Web Site received an award from Britannica.com. As you know, the Encyclopedia Britannica is an excellent educational resource. They have now placed their encyclopedia online as well, and they want to link with other educational web sites. And perhaps you have noticed that we have no flashing advertisements on our SignWriting Web Site.... I have done this purposefully, so that the SignWritingSite remains educational and not commercial. That means that we are not getting revenue from our web site the way that other sites do...most web sites support themselves by selling advertisements to strangers. Somehow the idea of having flashing ads while Deaf children are trying to read SignWriting really bothered me, and so even though we need the revenue, I have chosen to keep our site "educational" in nature. So I felt honored when such an important educational site as Britannica.com chose our site for an award. Their message to me was particularly nice. Here it is: ------------------------- January 31, 2000 To the Webmaster of the SignWritingSite: Our editors have selected this web site as one of the best on the Internet when reviewed for quality, accuracy of content, presentation and usability. With this award, we wish to tell visitors to the SignWritingSite, that Britannica editors have rated yours one of the most valuable and reliable on the Internet, in the company of an elite group of Web sites. We know quality is always difficult to accomplish and maintain. Congratulations! Regards, The Staff at Britannica.com ------------------------- Val ;-) |
