Emails like Thursday's Top Tech Tidbits work better for me as a screen reader than messing with Facebook and Twitter. Kathie

I tend to surf for news for EmpTech on all possible outlets as well as follow your notes on Linkedin Jennison and Twitter. In fact we have now linked tweats to EmpTech as a way of getting regular news updates onto the web page. We are thinking of doing the same with the news - using RSS feeds etc. I have to admit as there is so much more out there it is much harder work. It is also really crucial to check the validity of some of the comments - having to triangulate news and blogs can take time, but I am always worried about passing on news that is not accurate.
I love the fact we are sharing so much, but I agree with Ron - having the news pushed as email is the best - having to go and search can open Pandora's box!

That would be great please do!
I am one who finds that email and lists better serve my style of info acquisition. At this point I have not really found social media to provide the same functionality but am always wanting to have access to the richest resources.

Hello,
With social media becoming ever more popular, I'm personally curious where
folks are turning to most often when seeking accessibility-related
information:
e-mail discussion lists, social media, or a combination of the two?
I've been a faithful e-mail discussion list user since I started using the
internet in the mid-90s. However, over the last few years, especially with the
advent of Twitter, I'm finding some of the richer accessibility info is being
communicated through social media. One of my concerns is that there may be a
gap that is growing in terms of accessibility info sharing based on which
channel folks use. Of course, who has the time to monitor and contribute to
everything
This is something I've been reflecting upon for a bit, and thought I'd take a
temperature check.
I'm asking a similar question on Twitter and LinkedIn as well. If folks are
interested, I can compile the answers I receive and share a high-level summary
in a few weeks.
