Herdict Web

What is Herdict Web?

Herdict Web seeks to present a real-time picture of Web site accessibility and inaccessibility. By crowdsourcing data from individuals around the world, Herdict Web allows you to see what is inaccessible, where it's inaccessible, and for how long. You can see which countries have the most reports, and which Web sites are most often reported. You can track inaccessibility by country, by keyword, across regions, and over time. Your contributions are what move the herd.
