That's OK.  Haha; you're blind in more than one way! LOL!

Hi, Chris,

Sorry.  I'm a littole bit blind, to the hole social media, 
universe.
Didn't intend to be so strong, or opinionated!

Carly,

Maybe he didn't know at the time of his posting of this question
that there was an option to leave his Tweets unprotected so he
didn't have to accept follower requests; I know I didn't.  FYI, 
with
Facebook there is no setting to tell Facebook to let anyone 
friend
you; you have to accept every friend request you receive.
So when I read his question, I thought it was a good one.  I 
didn't
know that you could set Twitter to unprotect your account and 
just
let anyone follow you; I was used to Facebook's set-up.
So, this thread helped me too, as I will probably get a Twitter
soon, and I needed to know that before I go into my account and
somebody just followed me without my approval.  Without this
knowledge, I wouldn't know what was going on.  So, he may not be
up-tight about who follows him, but he may not have known and was
asking more experienced Twitter users a question about it so he 
can
gain more knowledge.  Nothing wrong with that!

Good morning, I tend to identify with Patrick, on this.  If you 
are
gonna be so uptight about your tweets, remaining, unprotected.
Why
even be party to social media?? Just curious.

Seems like the answer is to leave your tweets unprotected, and 
then
you won't have to worry about the friend requests one way or 
another.

Well, I stand corrected, apparently if you "protect" your tweets,
which I do not do, you have to accept follow requests.

Then what were the rest of the people in this thread talking 
about
when they said, for example, that they "use sighted assistance to
accept follower requests?"

Twitter is not like Facebook, you don't accept or deny
requests.  Anyone can follow you, and you can follow anyone.

A number of blind persons use various clients on the iPhone, Many 
of
us used Qwitter, which is no longer in development, replaced by
quitmonger, dna the cube.  There is also an accessible web site,
easychirp.com.
