Hi everyone,
Asking on behalf of a colleague...
We are looking for a bulk tweeter (like Hootsuite), that allows for social
listening and is also accessible. Currently Hootsuite does not allow alt
text (even though Twitter does). We are aware of a product called Buffer.
Does any one know any other products out there?
thanks!
Sarah

I'm not aware of other products, but know from other's experiences that Buffer is accessible. So, if that's a consideration from an end-user perspective, it should work.

Here is Part 3 of a good set of articles on Buffer and Hootsuite and the
progression of the end use tweets (don't know about the interfaces
themselves)

Hootsuite is still not allowing for alt text, which is a shame because many
people use it and one has to give that caveat every time it is mentioned.
Whereas Buffer added the alt feature within about 8 months...
Cheers
