Many thought it was a fool's errand - that the browser companies were never going to listen to us. Others argued that, 'Users don't care if you use Web standards.' Well, of course they don't. They just know that your site works better.

We at The Web Standards Project turned everything on its head. We said browsers should support the same standards instead of competing to invent new tags and scripting languages. We said designers, developers, and content folks should create one site that was accessible to everyone.

If you can use a Web browser, you can use Skype.

Even if it's not always the best markup, what are Facebook and Twitter? They're web standards with some scripts. They may not validate, but they're still CSS layouts and simple markup, and that's great!

I never in my wildest dreams thought that I'd have merchandise selling on a web site. It's just amazing to me.

The code core of the 2001 browser upgrade campaign was the first instance of capability detection in place of browser detection.
