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.
