Email and lists seem to be my preference.  Other forms of social media seem to command too much time.  Perhaps I have not learned how to efficiently make use of them.

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.
