Definitely a pattern I'm seeing on the Web, accessibility is becoming more and more important, and "bending over backwards" for the user/client is on the horizon.
Furthermore, I think accessibility will be the breaking point between huge dinosaurs like Facebook and Twitter and small communities of dozens, hundreds, and thousands of members.
The big ones will have to choose between opening up the platform to accessibility, which inevitably also means opening it up to automation, abuse, and data flight -or- alienating an increasing number of accessibility users. Either way is not that attractive.
