Via twitter.com/AccessForAll_eu, you can now also follow all our postings via Twitter. Equally, you can do so using Accessible Twitter. Accessible Twitter is essentially an alternative to using the main Twitter site. You go along to the homepage, log in with your usual Twitter account details, and use it in exactly the same way as you would the regular site. All the functionality that you’d expect is there – the Tweet roll, your status, mentions & messages, plus access to search, trending topics and popular links.
In addition, Accessible Twitter is:
- Fully keyboard accessible;
- Marked up semantically with headings optimised for screen reader users, and;
- Fully functional with javascript disabled.
There are also some really nice touches that go the extra mile, such as audio cues when the tweet character limit is almost reached (as well as the visual counter), and feedback after Ajax actions so unsighted users know what’s happened (see the full list of Accessible Twitter features).
