I'm now a tweety-bird

[kestrell]

I realize that I am just about the last blind person to join Twitter and, while it gives me a metaphysical pain to be found doing anything which is referred to as "tweeting," I've gone and done it anyway.

I'm currently reading Anna Dresner's _Social Networking and You: Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn for Blind Users_, so I felt I should at least join Twitter. My username is kestrell13, if anyone wants to follow me because hey, if your life is boring, you should *so* follow the blind woman.

Also, theoretically there is an option in the profile to fill out a bio, but I'm not finding it: any screen reader users have tips for locating this field?

Your description would be helpful if only the link to add twitter to your Web site showed up with a screen reader...still haven't found the bio edit field, but I do appreciate your description of the environment.

So far, I have mostly been checking out the main default interface, but I just looked at the mobile interface, and that will probably be easier for reading. The National Braille Press book gives some descriptions of the alternate accessible interfaces, but I haven't gotten that far yet. Still, Twitter looks far more easier to read than Facebook, which I can only handle in very short increments.
