To date, I've used e-mail lists, plus Google searches which usually turn up
more e-mail-list references or the occasional Facebook page.  
I'm quite new to facebook, so have not yet found useful pages to watch
there.
I have not yet found a need to use Twitter or LinkedIn.

Subject: where are you getting your accessibility info?

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.
