Hi Scott, I tried the link you suggested and I still encounter the type in the numbers above message. I tried to ignore this but I couldn't sign in.

Did you try to sign up through www.twitter.com When I go through that sign up process, I don't encounter any captchas, which are the numbers you described. You are asked for your name, email address, a password, and to choose a user name.

For what it's worth, Twitter is a very popular social media platform for blind users. You can access it in multiple ways, via mac, pc, iPhone, Android. The network allows you to post short messages, up to 140 characters in length. You "follow" people of interest to you, including friends, musicians, authors, and other celebrities and figures of interest, and they in turn can "follow" you to keep up with your posts.

My honest suggestion falls in the same range as Rob's, do not do it . if you must use the mobile sight for your day to day uses which updates etc but for the signing up and especially for the privacy settings try to get sighted help. It is doable but somewhat confusing and they change rules and lay out quote often ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: adaptivetec-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:adaptivetec-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Rob Simon Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2013 1:50 PM To: adaptivetec@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [adaptivetec] Re: question about facebook.
