Thanks for bringing these to my attention! They have been added to the list. Certainly let me know if you learn of any others. Also, welcome as a follower on Twitter! Your Twitter profile indicates you are a state employee. Do you work for the State of Texas? If so, what agency? You can e-mail me directly if you would rather not say publicly. It’s awesome to see other state employees also interested in social media. Let’s stay in touch!

Comment on Twitter At A Glance by kinez

The tweets I enjoy most from people are the goofy, personal tweets. I like *your* tweets with links since I’m as passionate about the Web as you are. Other folks tweets tend to link to things I’m not interested in, so it’s noise. I wish I could filter their link tweets out and just get the goofy stuff (sounds like something Twitter could do, actually).

Another thing I really appreciate about your link tweets is that the accompanying text is descriptive enough to help me know whether I want to click through the link. People who write something cryptic with a link will rarely find me clicking through.

I resisted Twitter for a long time. I enjoy it now that I’ve signed up.

Comment on WebAnywhere: A Screen reader on the go by Robert Doyal

After running my site through the alpha version of WebAnywhere, I discovered my navigation links need to be changed. Currently, the navigation links are repeated twice before moving on to the next item. This is a bit annoying. Overall, a great alternative to expensive screen reader software.

Many thanks to the WebInSight group for working on such a beneficial project! This project is great for people with a visual impairment and those who aim to make their content accessible to all visitors.
