There is still a long way to go but the progress over the past few years were highly visible and indeed positive.
Many websites using Web 2.0 technologies started to spring up all over the internet, and are most likely to exponentially increase in the number over the next few years. Although the term itself, web 2.0, has become a bit of a buzzword, there is no doubt that web 2.0 is here and its becoming more and more commonplace.
The characteristic of web 2.0 include AJAX and user generated content, many website begin to embrace these two concepts causing never-before seen accessibility issues.
AJAX, Asynchronous Java Scripts and XML are not actually a technology itself, because it is a technique for using a number of existing technologies to create interactive web application on it. The main accessibility concern is not the use of Java Scripts, is the way in which Java Scripts is used to cause on-the-page changes.
For example, showcases of a great example of using AJAX to create an interactive and useful interface. It uses the click-and-drag sliders to allow to narrow a wide range of filtering criteria. The page then automatically updates to show how many result conform to the users' selected criteria. So, it would be convenience for people to check on the result they wanted to.
