Comments on: Accessible Twitter: how it should have been done to start with http://www.lessfussdesign.com/blog/2009/07/accessible-twitter/ News & web design articles from Andy Bryant Tue, 29 Jun 2010 10:57:29 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: birkenbihl http://www.lessfussdesign.com/blog/2009/07/accessible-twitter/comment-page-1/#comment-4882 birkenbihl Fri, 04 Dec 2009 02:54:21 +0000 http://www.lessfussdesign.com/blog/?p=73#comment-4882 although i agree that some aspects of accessible twitter are better, some are worse, i do not like the "portrait", i want to see how people present themselves so i have to go back to twitter to find people. furthermore, reading so much about access for the disabled, i have problems with my eye and like to use big letters, but the little box is as bad as sith twitter. i would prefer 5 lines with big letters, so that i can try out the text first and then shorten it, a very good mental exercise but not, if most of the text remains invisible unless i make the letter so small as to be unable to read without a magnifying glass. it would be lovely to repair that, for us sight-impaired, wouldn't it now?? vfb although i agree that some aspects of accessible twitter are better, some are worse, i do not like the “portrait”, i want to see how people present themselves so i have to go back to twitter to find people. furthermore, reading so much about access for the disabled, i have problems with my eye and like to use big letters, but the little box is as bad as sith twitter. i would prefer 5 lines with big letters, so that i can try out the text first and then shorten it, a very good mental exercise but not, if most of the text remains invisible unless i make the letter so small as to be unable to read without a magnifying glass. it would be lovely to repair that, for us sight-impaired, wouldn’t it now??

Thanks for writing this. As a sighted person, I still love the clean look of AccessibleTwitter. I have become addicted to the Readability browser add-on for the same reason: just give me the content and take away the "noise". There's something about cognition here. In our busy lives, you want to "get at" info quickly and not waste time wading through what to you is unnecessary info. I want to scan quickly so I don't stress myself. I do love quality eye-candy - I am not of the useit school of thought. I agree that accessible can include beautiful design. I hope we get more designers who are fully aware of accessibility, usability, and design and incorporate them into something that pleases all and adds value to the visit. Very valid points here. Thanks for writing this.
