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.

--I expect between this and the new Anna Dresner book one should be able to find out everything one needs to know about accessibility of the major social networking sites.
