Social Networking and You: Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn for Blind Users 
By  Anna Dresner In Braille, eBraille, text, and DAISY formats, $12.00 
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.
