Re: Free online version of Bobby discontinued?

Watchfire (who own Bobby) announced a while ago that Bobby would be
discontinued and WebXact available in it's place.
If you click on "Show Advanced / Accessibility Options" you will see a
number of options including 508 and W3C WCAG-A / AA / AAA plus broken links
etc.
I find this service equally as pedantic as Bobby though I think there's a
bit more depth in the report.

Incidentally WAVE seems to have fallen over this a.m.
