  1. 98.6% of respondents had JS enabled. 72% use a screen reader on mobile device. JAWS use down, NVDA and VO up. Etc. weba.im/survey4
  2. WebAIM Screen Reader User Survey #4 Results - weba.im/survey4
  3. @rg_chi I'm a religious @LastPass user and didn't know about secure mobile browser functionality until now. Thank you! @stubbornella
  4. This! RT @stubbornella: Why do I use apps rather than the web on my phone? I hate entering my password every time I use a site.
  5. I'm thrilled to be a part of this year's online Accessibility Summit on Sept. 25. Details/tickets at environmentsforhumans.com/2012/accessibi…
  6. @TySpace Indeed. Some people would kill to be called a "giant ass" by someone like that.
  7. @TySpace And then got called out by him. It's only 2 million followers. No worries. :-)
  8. I'm crunching and analyzing survey data. I can't wait to publish this stuff! Some data will surprise you. I'm such a numbers geek.
  9. @JMP_software The unfriendly, convoluted experience of trying to download a trial of your software has convinced me to NEVER purchase it.
  10. It seems that all @fixtheweb does anymore is blindly distribute spam messages for virus-laden Microsoft remote support tools. #fixtheweb
  11. Just purchased Coda 2 for 1/2 off (today only). Moving to Coda was a great productivity move. The upgrade is worth it just for MySQL tools.
  12. My astrophotos and an interview featured on the @cpdusu blog - cpdusu.org/blog/2012/05/m…
  13. @TySpace Odd, for sure. You wouldn't believe how many names we can't use. Child #3 due in 2 months.
  14. The mighty @stevefaulkner documents the issues I noted on using multiple labels for a control - paciellogroup.com/blog/2012/05/n…
  15. @mgifford Many improvements and official launch coming soon. Will also be launching an API to do just what you need.
  16. @TinaHolmboe I agree. But currently the usage seems almost nonexistent. And hardware/software getting less expensive all the time.
  17. @mattmay Got hate mail from both of them: "Why don't you list Orca?!?" Me: "We did once. Only you and your buddy chose it… 4 times each."
  18. Much talk about importance of Linux accessibility, yet only .5% of screen reader user survey respondents were using it.
