[nabs-l] Follow NFB on Twitter

[J.J. Meddaugh]

Peter,
Frankly, most of the students and others at this point are on Facebook. 
Ignoring a site like this is simply bad marketing.
The problem with much of the legislation on accessibility is the lack of 
clarity of who is responsible for the accessibility. Is it the screen reader 
manufacturers or the creators of the websites?
