The third annual Blue Beanie Day will be celebrated on Monday, November 30, 2009
Thousands of Standardistas (people who support web standards) will wear a Blue Beanie to show their support for accessible, semantic web content.
3rd Annual Blue Beanie Day
It’s easy to show your support for web design done right. Beg, borrow, or buy a Blue Beanie (or Blue Toque in Canada) and snap a photo of your mug wearing the blue. (Or get creative with Photoshop). Then on November 30, switch your profile picture in Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, (and any other social network) and post your photo to the Blue Beanie Day group at Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/groups/bluebeanieday2009/ .
It’s easy to participate:
- Make a personal commitment to fight Web Standards apathy. Show solidarity with the Standardistas on Monday, November 30th, 2009.
- Buy, beg, or borrow a Blue Beanie (blue hat or cap, even a black or grey one will do in a pinch.)
- Take a photo of yourself wearing the Blue Beanie. Or take a cool group photo of you and your friends wearing Blue Beanies.
- Post your photo, or photos to Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, and other social networks on Monday, November 30th, 2009. Remember to switch your Facebook profile photo that day, too!
- Start by inviting all your friends to the Facebook Event for Blue Beanie Day 2009.
- Promote Blue Beanie Day on your blog, wiki, facebook page, twitter tweets — telling all your friends to get ready for Blue Beanie Day.

Once again hunting for a blue beanie. Thought it was also important to let folks know about this simple twitter petition that they can be involved in to encourage Google to be more standards compliant – http://act.ly/nh

Why the frack is the event page behind a wall (Facebook)!
When systems match user needs, satisfaction often improves dramatically. In a 1992 Gartner Group study, web design methods raised user satisfaction ratings for a system by 40%.
