"I started my job search with my LinkedIn contacts."
"Your tweets are hilarious!"
"We're Facebook friends, but we've never met in person!"

It seems like everyone these days is spending at least some of their
time on social networking sites. If you're not participating, you may
feel left out - and it doesn't help that none of these sites were
designed with blind users in mind! But what exactly do Facebook, Twitter
and LinkedIn have to offer? How do you get started on them? And what
about issues of privacy? 

This book is designed to help you learn about these three social
networking sites so that you can decide which, if any, you wish to join.
Anna Dresner gives you enough information to get started; she describes
how these sites work right now and gives you some idea about the sorts
of things you can do on them. Anna offers commands and strategies for
navigating these sites with screen readers, and includes pointers for
handling specific situations using JAWS, Window-Eyes and System Access,
and VoiceOver on the Mac. 

Note: The DAISY version of this book will work with any version of
FSReader, which comes free with every installation of JAWS.
