[Blindtlk] Twitter anyone?

[Chris Nusbaum]

Hi Jim,

There's an NBP book written by Anna Dressner entitled "Social 
Networking and You: Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn for Blind 
Users." I would definitely recommend it, as it helped me greatly 
with my knowledge of Facebook and how it works.  You can get the 
book on nbp.org.

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The 
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that 
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and 
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance."
-- Kenneth Jernigan (President, National Federation of the Blind, 
1968-1986

P.S.  The I C.A.N.  Foundation helps blind and visually impaired 
youth in Maryland say "I can," by empowering them through 
providing assistive technology and scholarships to camps and 
conventions which help them be equal with their sighted peers.  
For more information about the Foundation and to support our 
work, visit us online at www.icanfoundation.info!

The best thing for you to do is to use qwitter.  You will never 
have to go to
the twitter website to read tweets or to send a tweet and it work 
fantastic
with jaws.  Go to www.qwitter-client.net.

Hello there,



I was wondering what folks think of Twitter for social media.  
I'd been
fairly reluctant to get on, but a couple of students have been 
asking me how
to use it, and some friends kept inviting me, so I figured I'd at 
least get
an account and give it a try.

How accessible is it for JAWS users, and how easy is it to use?  
Any good
tutorials out there for Twitter?  I'm willing to give this a try 
with
friends so I know what all's happening with it.
