A new site has just launched. Herdict tracks which sites are inaccessible by asking users to tell them. And it’s now available in Arabic.

Here’s what Herdict has to say:

Let’s say you find a site inaccessible…normally, you might call or e-mail your friends and ask them if they’re experiencing the same thing. With Herdict Web, you can see – in real time – if others are reporting the same phenomenon, giving you a better sense of potential reasons of why the site is inaccessible.

It’s been set up by the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University.
