Last month, we presented a summary of some of the interesting links that we have come across simply through twitter.
In this post, we continue this trend, this time focusing more on accessibility. Obviously it is not possible to list every single accessibility-related link here, so we have filtered them by creating an A to Z of accessibility related tweets over the past 7 months. Enjoy!
