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.
