Hi Eleanor, I don't use either. But here goes, just for you *smile* It seems
that Blind Cool Tech has a couple podcasts about twitter. A quick Google
returned the following site
http://www.blind-geek-zone.net/audio.htm
which has few twitter tutorial podcasts with different twitter clients.
As I said I don't use either of Facebook or Twitter I am afraid so hopefully
other users will be of more help.
Cheers,
Amro

Eleanor, and what's stopping you from asking your twitter questions on
here? Joining a list that has twitter in the title will not magically transform
you to a twitter guru. You read the manual and tutorials, use the program and
when you have a problem ask on a tech list, that what you, me or any one else
needs to do.
I honestly think that Chris is trying to be helpful to fellow computer
users but I don't think that creating tens of lists is very productive.
Cheers,
Amro

I think chris has a point. As yet I have not come to terms with twitter
or facebook but am certainly interested in doing so after my exams at the end
of October. Then I hope to concedntrate on getting to know these well in
November.

Barry,
I'm inclined to agree!
Now having said that for folk who may require answers about Twitter
should then this list be the way to go?
Haven't joined the Twitter community as yet but when I do I would like
to be able to ask possible questions on this list or if Chris goes ahead, on
his.
There is a bit of info out there anyway on the Twitter matter for us!
The occasional question about Twitter I would imagine I'd be asking.
Best,
Tony Sweeney

Honestly, I think there's no need to create a list for such specific
narrow
subjects. Not in the home-end-user blindness community. It's too
small of a
market and these general access technology lists aren't' exactly over
ran
with these topics. The list volume isn't' back breaking. I've always
found
our UK lists on Tech quite light, compared to some of the lists state
side.
Think about it this way what would people talk about if they moved to
a list
for each Social Network, then each program, then each anti-virus,
then each
version of that anti-virus etc. What is it they say, "variety is the
spice
of life" in conversation as well as other things.<smile>
Furthermore, most people that ask a handful of social networking
questions
on say BCAB or Access-Uk and get on the social network. Will then,
start
using that social network to ask questions. Not only about the social
network but other things as well. It's one of the points of being on
a
social network. Having a group of people who you can communicate
with.
It's more customised for your way of thinking and is a resource where
you
and others can share information as well as personal aspects of life.
Compartamentalisation is an effective tool but not used this way. I
think
your motives are decent but there's watering down in too many lists.
So in a nut shell, I don't believe we're over run with discussions on
twitter here. Certainly not to the point where another list needs to
be
created to handle all this traffic.
Regards,
Barry.
