Thanks for this Andrea, hilarious stuff! For some reason I am just intrigued by Twitter, since I have little experience with all this digital socializing like Facebook, etcetera. It is a novelty factor for me. One last tech note: I understand Twitter will probably work ok with just my screen reader of Window Eyes, without any other fancy add ons like McTwit, so we'll see.
