    This website is a Web client for Twitter users that takes into account several features that make Twitter more accessible for users with disabilities. To name a few, it includes features such as: - "All links are keyboard accessible (and visual styling on focus as well as hover states). - Headings and page titles are implemented for optimal accessibility. This includes an H3 heading (for author screen name) added to tweets to assist with screen reader users. - Large default text size and high color contrast. - Text resizes many levels without breaking. Access keys (keyboard shortcuts) to main menu items."

    I agree with Ashley. This has completely helped me take accessibility into consideration when I am creating websites, or when having my students create websites. So many things are overlooked, and this is one of them!

    This blog speaks directly to how social networks such as Facebook and Twitter are making their sites more accessible.

    And sadly, how so many more sites simply are not.
