| Nethermind | @PatrickDunphy The suggestion came up during an #AccessU class, and I thought it was a great idea, too! /cc @knowbility | 2011-06-02T11:57:14-07:00 |

| clifftyll | @uxprinciples Actually, although I was in Austin, I missed #AccessU so others could go in my place. No luck. Did join the tribe in evenings. | 2011-05-21T09:57:17-07:00 |

| uxprinciples | @clifftyll at least u were able to make it to Austin for #accessu. | 2011-05-20T11:52:13-07:00 |

| feather | Almost home... Really missing the #AccessU crowd already. True passion for /dedication to accessibility from everyone! | 2011-05-20T09:24:52-07:00 |
| freeridedesign | Great week @ #AccessU thank you all who gave talks and organized, learned a lot! On plane heading home, can't wait to see my girls!! | 2011-05-20T08:58:43-07:00 |
| BBerkner | Marshall McLuhan: "We shape our tools and then our tools shape us." #AccessU (via @DavidAKennedy) One of my favorites | 2011-05-20T08:06:46-07:00 |
| goodwitch | Dinner tonight w @feather at Uchi was phenomenal. A decadent way to celebrate the end of a fabulous #AccessU (hugs & kisses to the tribe) | 2011-05-19T19:10:34-07:00 |
| LFLegal | Thx @Nethermind for kind words. Thx @sharrush / @knowbility for great John Slatin #AccessU . i love (+ learn so much from) #a11y community. | 2011-05-19T18:23:53-07:00 |
| csunwebmaster | @Nethermind We write policies with links to procedures. When procedures change, no need to rewrite policy. All public, but modular. #AccessU | 2011-05-19T15:45:35-07:00 |
| sharrush | @feather thanks for your insights, for listening and for your friendship. oh yeh and for a kick-ass workshop! Happy trails xoxo #AccessU | 2011-05-19T15:14:55-07:00 |
| Nethermind | Excited to head out to #a11ysea but must say #AccessU was the best #a11y conference I've attended! Thanks @knowbility for smarting me up! | 2011-05-19T14:10:29-07:00 |
| Nethermind | We all dig the contextual keyboards for input types (tel and URL and email) on iOS and Android. How cool to see HTML5 usage #AccessU | 2011-05-19T13:55:08-07:00 |
| goodwitch | developer + designer = deviner (slip of the tongue by @feather or accurate description) #accessu | 2011-05-19T13:42:09-07:00 |
| Nethermind | Cool CSS3 onhover transitions abound, but keyboard #a11y fail: assign tabindex=0 and set onfocus. Not CSS3's fault, get smarter! :) #AccessU | 2011-05-19T13:40:07-07:00 |
| Lisa_barnett | @nethermind wins our own codapalooza at #accessu #progressiveenhancement workshop with her "labelzilla" @freeridedesign | 2011-05-19T12:28:41-07:00 |
| Nethermind | Discussing #HTML5 and ARIA as used in http://www.simplyaccessible.com Why use both? Not always equally supported #AccessU | 2011-05-19T11:51:14-07:00 |
| DavidAKennedy | Headed home. Learned a ton at #AccessU! | 2011-05-19T09:53:17-07:00 |
| Nethermind | Funniest example of ARIA (and hidden problems) EVER by @feather #AccessU "What's under the sheets actually matters." | 2011-05-19T09:53:06-07:00 |
| 107designs | Use HTML anchors with self-referential in-page links to keep focus on current element after a click action. ~@feather #AccessU | 2011-05-19T09:19:49-07:00 |
| Nethermind | Maintaining focus on an element via HTML (not JavaScript)is both elegant and simple (ex. <a href="#me" id="me"...) #AccessU | 2011-05-19T09:19:30-07:00 |
| AccessibleTwitr | Huge thank-you to @sharrush of @Knowbility for the very successful & fun #AccessU conference! #a11y | 2011-05-19T09:18:18-07:00 |
| Nethermind | Title attributes (even in addition to offscreen text) and tight content grouping aid low vision users who have screen magnifiers #AccessU | 2011-05-19T09:14:31-07:00 |
| Nethermind | Role, properties, and state are the 3 things any object needs to express. Actually can often be handled lower in the stack (HTML) #AccessU | 2011-05-19T09:04:01-07:00 |
| Nethermind | Coding an #accessible tree requires expressing all info & relationships (often expressed visually): role, state, etc. hence ARIA #AccessU | 2011-05-19T09:01:10-07:00 |
| Nethermind | @csunwebmaster Great point! But procedures are largely internal, doesn't open the conversation and feedback up to external users. #AccessU | 2011-05-19T08:58:10-07:00 |
| Nethermind | With Prog. Enhancement, consider info & relationships as they are expressed: hierarchy, sequence, category, status, position, type #AccessU | 2011-05-19T08:56:08-07:00 |
| feather | Break time on my Progressive Enhancement workshop at #AccessU. Love how it is going so far... | 2011-05-19T08:33:13-07:00 |
| csunwebmaster | @Nethermind In academic use, policy means something very specific, a doc signed by president. I'd include test info in procedures. #AccessU | 2011-05-19T08:22:05-07:00 |
| Nethermind | Great tip: In your #a11y policy, consider listing the types of assistive technology used for testing & solicit feedback from users #AccessU | 2011-05-19T08:14:48-07:00 |
| Nethermind | Adhering to progressive enhancement aids developers reach a wider audience with older assistive technology #AccessU | 2011-05-19T08:09-07:00 |
| Nethermind | Defining browser support is easy, defining assistive technology support is problematic for many reasons #a11y #AccessU | 2011-05-19T08:07:22-07:00 |
| Nethermind | Modifying our corp. definition of "support" based on Yahoo's awesome graded scale for browser support - fantastic! via @feather #AccessU | 2011-05-19T08:05:08-07:00 |
| kmdk | Hashtag overload this week. Waiting for followup blogs. Quali-tweets though from @willsansbury for #stc11 & @Nethermind for #AccessU. Thx! | 2011-05-19T08:03:40-07:00 |
| clifftyll | @dennisl only thing better than @Nethermind's live #AccessU tweets from @feather's Progressive Enhancement for the Modern Web? To be there. | 2011-05-19T07:55:21-07:00 |
| dennisl | Now! Follow @Nethermind & #AccessU for live tweeting of progressive enhancement full-day session by @feather. #pe #a11y | 2011-05-19T07:44:04-07:00 |
| Nethermind | Web standards ensure a baseline level of functionality, interoperability, & availability. Basic, not optimized. via @feather #AccessU #a11y | 2011-05-19T07:40:44-07:00 |
| DavidAKennedy | @amberleyjohanna Going well! It's been a great conference at #AccessU. Looking forward to getting back to the DMV. | 2011-05-19T07:38:47-07:00 |
| Nethermind | Make sure your solutions are complete and join related attributes (ex. foreground/background color), same place in the stack #AccessU | 2011-05-19T07:38:37-07:00 |
| pauljadam | In .NET a11y at #AccessU secret to accessible .NET sites is Semantic HTML and cheaper to develop than .NET tag soup. http://t.co/k3p7PRr | 2011-05-19T07:35:50-07:00 |
| Nethermind | A lot of progressive enhancement fits in the R (robust) of the POUR principles of #accessibility - @feather #AccessU | 2011-05-19T07:32:59-07:00 |
| clifftyll | @Nethermind Did I meet your sister? Or did all the other #AccessU folks hog her time? :D | 2011-05-19T07:29:43-07:00 |
| Nethermind | A huge thank you to all my #AccessU friends who treated my sister so warmly - she loved you guys! /cc @Jennison @mattmay @goodwitch et al | 2011-05-19T07:28:06-07:00 |
| Nethermind | Hhigh-contrast mode in Windows reverses color, but also removes CSS background images (do you lose images that convey content?) #AccessU | 2011-05-19T07:26:02-07:00 |
| clifftyll | @goodwitch thanks for help organizing the tribe for http://rubysbbq.com and http://amysicecreams.com at #AccessU. Let's do lunch (or HH)! | 2011-05-19T07:23:32-07:00 |
| Nethermind | For icons that communicate info, put in foreground & consider using flexible sizes (em's) to scale with any zoom function for users #AccessU | 2011-05-19T07:22:50-07:00 |
| Nethermind | HTML content IS built-in functionality, your core behavior (links, buttons, forms). JavaScript should be for advanced behavior. #AccessU | 2011-05-19T07:18:28-07:00 |
| clifftyll | @Jennison @karlgroves @107designs @dennisl @lisa_barnett @nethermind @mattmay showing you around during #AccessU was a blast! Safe travels. | 2011-05-19T07:18:08-07:00 |
| goodwitch | If you can solve a problem lower in the stack (HTML, CSS, JS, ARIA) do it. Increases interoperability and #a11y - @feather #AccessU | 2011-05-19T07:14:05-07:00 |
| Nethermind | Reporting to Progressive Enhancement class, front row. @feather says there's group work, cool! #AccessU | 2011-05-19T07:06:48-07:00 |

| a11yconf | To keep things simple, use native controls to have the best assurance of an accessible mobile app. via @feather #accessu | 2011-05-18T13:16:09-07:00 |
| Nethermind | #Mobile #a11y is mostly built in, but in most cases we take it away with our choices as designers and devs, use controls provided #AccessU | 2011-05-18T13:12:24-07:00 |
| Nethermind | Not surprisingly, iOS has the most built-in #a11y, Android can have it added (or taken away), Blackberry has aids/apps available #AccessU | 2011-05-18T12:57:35-07:00 |
| pauljadam | @feather says that the android emulator can be hacked and recompiled to enable text to speech a11y testing right in the simulator. #AccessU | 2011-05-18T12:51:26-07:00 |
| Nethermind | Not enough #AccessU! My plug for monthly #a11y Q&A call with @feather and FurtherAhead team to keep learning: http://bit.ly/ilDwW6 | 2011-05-18T12:50:31-07:00 |
| Nethermind | Seems as though #mobile dev environments are lacking true screen reading support, only emulators and #a11y checkers #AccessU | 2011-05-18T12:45:18-07:00 |
| Nethermind | Rotor function (swipe fingers in a circle) on iOS changes the mode (ex. links, headings, etc.) Genius! #mobile #a11y #AccessU | 2011-05-18T12:35:17-07:00 |
| Nethermind | One beautiful touch screen #a11y solution for iOS: single tap an app to select, double tap anywhere to open that app #mobile #AccessU | 2011-05-18T12:31:56-07:00 |
| a11yconf | While an emulator exists for Blackberry accessibility testing, you do need to test using a commercial screen reader. via @feather #accessu | 2011-05-18T12:31:44-07:00 |

| Nethermind | What could be better than lunch with @dennissl speaking at #AccessU? | 2011-05-17T10:42:12-07:00 |
| GeorgeZamfir | To #AccessU folks: in my research years we were saying smth is accessible if it's "of the web not just on the web". re: @lflegal tweets | 2011-05-17T10:24:36-07:00 |
| Nethermind | Speak the language of your audience to engage. Don't be a #a11y zealot. Instead, be a partner in shared solutions. #AccessU | 2011-05-17T10:16:39-07:00 |
| Nethermind | Made peace with @mattmay and his challenging ideas. It's not either/or but a flow, from creative design to codified implementation. #AccessU | 2011-05-17T10:12:25-07:00 |
| Nethermind | @kelsmith @a11yconf Agreed, just hard to be aspirational on a large scale and measure success. #AccessU | 2011-05-17T10:04:33-07:00 |
| Nethermind | 7th principle of UD: size and space. Accommodate variations in hand/grip size, provide adequate space for click/tap targets. #AccessU | 2011-05-17T10:00:13-07:00 |
| Nethermind | 6th principle of UD: low physical effort. Minimize fatigue,repetition, sustained effort. Allow users to have neutral body position. #AccessU | 2011-05-17T09:58:25-07:00 |
| Nethermind | 5th principle of UD: tolerance for error. Minimize hazards, provide warnings, fail safes, discourage actions requiring vigilance. #AccessU | 2011-05-17T09:56-07:00 |
| Nethermind | 4th principle of UD: perceptible information. Use redundant methods to present info, contrast, legibility, make instructions easy #AccessU | 2011-05-17T09:53:30-07:00 |
| Nethermind | Universal Design aims to be consistent with user expectations. Why create that widget that requires a user to learn a new method? #AccessU | 2011-05-17T09:51:47-07:00 |
| brycej | Following the #AccessU tweets this morning. Keep'em coming! Especially you @nethermind you have had some great ones. | 2011-05-17T09:50:56-07:00 |
| Nethermind | 3rd principle of UD: simple and intuitive. Eliminate unnecessary complexity. Consistency arranged by priority. Effective prompting. #AccessU | 2011-05-17T09:50:12-07:00 |
| Nethermind | 2nd principle of UD: flexibility in use. Choices on methods of use (left vs. right hand), adapt for accuracy, precision, pace. #AccessU | 2011-05-17T09:48:22-07:00 |
| Nethermind | 1st principle of UD: equitable use. Don't stigmatize users, provide same privacy rights. Identical UX when possible or equivalent. #AccessU | 2011-05-17T09:46:56-07:00 |
| Nethermind | Who are the implementers and who are the designers at your company to create universally accessible experiences? We need both. #AccessU | 2011-05-17T09:40:37-07:00 |
| Nethermind | #A11Y is reactive, targets implementers, rule-based, restrictive. UD is proactive, decision-based, targets mgrs, aspirational #AccessU | 2011-05-17T09:38:53-07:00 |
| vdebolt | Has anybody been able to get online using StEds guest or stewards? #accessu | 2011-05-17T09:38:44-07:00 |
| Nethermind | @mattmay - WCAG 2 built to push us toward informed, creative solutions, design for the future. Universal Design = accepting entropy #AccessU | 2011-05-17T09:35:10-07:00 |
| Nethermind | Everything in my brain is rebelling against @mattmay as he challenges a codified process to #a11y. Good friction! #AccessU | 2011-05-17T09:32:58-07:00 |
| Nethermind | Regarding #a11y standards, rule based decisions without exceptions lose the vision, prevents thinking. #AccessU | 2011-05-17T09:30:02-07:00 |
| a11yconf | Someone turn on the airconditioner. :) It's warm. #accessu | 2011-05-17T09:29:43-07:00 |
| Nethermind | Companies should adopt a Mobile First strategy to build compelling accessible experiences for customers #AccessU | 2011-05-17T09:27:08-07:00 |
| DavidAKennedy | Use the 4x4 rule in social media ? four minutes, four times a day to control time and needs. #AccessU | 2011-05-17T09:22:09-07:00 |
| Nethermind | @mattmay posits that a mobile device is a functional disability (by choice). #AccessU | 2011-05-17T09:20:19-07:00 |
| dennisl | 4-4 rule for #SocialMedia at work; 4 minutes, 4 times a day. #AccessU #tips | 2011-05-17T09:20:11-07:00 |
| Nethermind | The average user may have low vision, poor hearing, limited mobility, limited capacity to read. Note: this is the mobile ux, too. #AccessU | 2011-05-17T09:17:43-07:00 |
| vdebolt | Effective visuals in @marlaerwin presso at #AccessU | 2011-05-17T09:16:53-07:00 |
| Nethermind | 36.5 million people in the U.S. have limited mobility (ex. picking up a mouse) #AccessU | 2011-05-17T09:16:23-07:00 |
| Nethermind | Universal Design accounts for those in the middle of the accessibility spectrum (ex. aging population, multi-language). #AccessU | 2011-05-17T09:14:48-07:00 |

| Nethermind | One web strategy vs. mobile ux strategy, one web strategy is winning to accommodate various platforms (ex. iPad, Galaxy, etc.) #AccessU | 2011-05-17T09:06:33-07:00 |
| Nethermind | iPhone introduced limitations, users wanted web improvements to help, companies started to design mobile ux for these customers #AccessU | 2011-05-17T09:04:02-07:00 |
| Nethermind | @mattmay was working on an online grocery site in the early 2000s, found converging needs among mobile users and disabled users #AccessU | 2011-05-17T08:59:11-07:00 |
| soh65 | at #AccessU listening to @Mattmay talk about universal design. | 2011-05-17T08:55:48-07:00 |
| vdebolt | Yes I'm a liberal, so I'm thinking all Lainey Feingold's remarks about #a11y civil rights apply to GLBT law also #AccessU | 2011-05-17T08:55:24-07:00 |
| Nethermind | What we got in the 1990s: user needs then requirements then guidelines then policy then law then a non user based checklist #AccessU | 2011-05-17T08:55-07:00 |

| Nethermind | What we wanted in the 1990s: guidelines to solve #a11y problems, applicable for all use cases, audience of implementors who'd do it #AccessU | 2011-05-17T08:52:51-07:00 |
| Themoleskin | @notahickie teaching acessible social media at Access U. #accessu http://t.co/QMZLmEu | 2011-05-17T08:52:04-07:00 |
| Nethermind | How we got here: HTML 2.0, web wasn't initially a visual interface, img alt etc was designed for everyone, not just disabled #AccessU | 2011-05-17T08:50:01-07:00 |
| Nethermind | @mattmay says this talk is stuff he wants to get off his chest regarding Universal Design. I'm all for positive disruption! #AccessU | 2011-05-17T08:47:44-07:00 |

| Nethermind | I firmly believe that Section 508 functional performance criteria provides access for real users http://bit.ly/iLN4X6 #AccessU | 2011-05-17T08:24:49-07:00 |
| clifftyll | #AccessU tweeps, you may now resume sharing your profound insights on #accessibility, the law, and creating accessible content and apps. | 2011-05-17T08:20:46-07:00 |
| sharrush | @lflegal law doesn't have to be a blunt instrument but is lumbering beast. Hard to know where its going. #accessu #a11y | 2011-05-17T08:19:20-07:00 |
| Nethermind | Question about how many interfaces, browsers, tools a company should support. WCAG 2 and Universal Design ftw #AccessU | 2011-05-17T08:18:26-07:00 |
| clifftyll | #AccessU tweeps, I'll get to Opal's no earlier than 6 or 6:15, but I'm sure you'll find plenty to do there in the meantime! | 2011-05-17T08:16:36-07:00 |
| Nethermind | @dequeaccess says the 21st century telecom law applies to mobile #AccessU | 2011-05-17T08:16:33-07:00 |
| Nethermind | Question about mobile space and #accessibility laws, @LFLegal says working with MLB on their app, mobile on the horizon #AccessU | 2011-05-17T08:15:27-07:00 |

| Nethermind | Jim Allen asks about #a11y lawsuits in the K-12 area for education, IDEA and 504 not having impact #AccessU | 2011-05-17T08:12:09-07:00 |
| Lisa_barnett | In case you wondered, per @LFLegal, the ADA DOES apply to state and local government websites. #AccessU #a11y | 2011-05-17T08:11:41-07:00 |
| Nethermind | @LFLegal responds to question on DOJ ADA regulation changes. Companies ask why not wait, because regulations always play catch up. #AccessU | 2011-05-17T08:07:51-07:00 |
| pauljadam | Disabled people report problems in under a minute. Volunteers take these issues forward with website owners. http://www.fixtheweb.net #accessU | 2011-05-17T08:04:29-07:00 |

| mpaciello | #AccessU folks -- thanks for keeping the rest of us in the loop! Keep those tweets coming!! | 2011-05-17T07:54:15-07:00 |
| Nethermind | @Jennison that's a great question! It's a topic on everyone's mind. #crossdisability justice in the law involves compromise #AccessU | 2011-05-17T07:52:31-07:00 |
| Nethermind | Jennifer mentions that #accessibility is also a matter of privacy, empowering disabled users the same control over their info. #AccessU | 2011-05-17T07:49:21-07:00 |
| goodwitch | Advocates + Champions = Justice @lflegal #AccessU | 2011-05-17T07:47:53-07:00 |
| annchadwick | Lainey Feingold's work helped us advance accessibility at our large corporation. She rocks! #accessu | 2011-05-17T07:47:14-07:00 |

| Nethermind | The law is there for us to use, we need to make it happen. Advocates + Champions = Justice. Civil rights, core to why we do this. #AccessU | 2011-05-17T07:46:31-07:00 |
| slger123 | #AccessU is illustrating a principle sayeth at White House 20th ADA event: Civil Rights are not self-enforcing. | 2011-05-17T07:45:57-07:00 |
| DavidAKennedy | @LFLegal: Advocates plus champions equal justice for accessibility. #AccessU | 2011-05-17T07:45:31-07:00 |
| Nethermind | My extra 3% needs to be devoted to singing praises about all the work @LFLegal does, quiet victories shouted from virtual rooftops #AccessU | 2011-05-17T07:44:16-07:00 |

| a11yconf | How many people know that the credit reporting agencies and American Cancer Society have committed to web #accessibility? #accessu | 2011-05-17T07:43:23-07:00 |
| DavidAKennedy | @LFLegal says show accessibility matters by putting leaders with people who can?t use the site because of an access issue. #AccessU | 2011-05-17T07:41:31-07:00 |
| annchadwick | Awesome people. Awesome conference. John slatin access u. #accessu | 2011-05-17T07:40:44-07:00 |
| a11yconf | Lawsuits grab the attention of the media, as opposed to the #accessibility successes born from structured negotiations. #accessu | 2011-05-17T07:40:20-07:00 |
| Nethermind | Far fewer people hear about structured negotiations that can have a much deeper impact #AccessU | 2011-05-17T07:40:06-07:00 |
| goodwitch | In 10 minutes, a person w a disability can show a big company why access truly is a civil right (how to make the aha moment happen) #AccessU | 2011-05-17T07:38:52-07:00 |
| Nethermind | Media interest drives the desire for conflict and big money (ex: Target) which has a ripple effect, negotiating gets in the DNA #AccessU | 2011-05-17T07:37:43-07:00 |
| a11yconf | The best way to demo the civil rights aspect of web accessibility is to have ppl w/ disabilities demo 1st-hand & show the issues. #accessu | 2011-05-17T07:36:09-07:00 |
| annchadwick | One blind person can show a major corp the access problem in 10 mins more than 50 pages of legal text. #accessu | 2011-05-17T07:35:38-07:00 |
| Lisa_barnett | Enjoying confluence of tribes today: #AccessU and American Magicians conferences in ATX. Mind filled w/ notions of magic and #a11y | 2011-05-17T07:35:38-07:00 |
| goodwitch | Successful structured negotiation = listen, be thoughtful, understand each other's perspective & a true desire to solve problems #AccessU | 2011-05-17T07:35:28-07:00 |
| Nethermind | The best way to make the case is to make it real for companies (disabled users using their site) better than litigation #AccessU | 2011-05-17T07:35:21-07:00 |
| freeridedesign | #accessu (@ St. Edward's University) http://4sq.com/mDOIQi | 2011-05-17T07:34:12-07:00 |
| Nethermind | The reason we see so many cases from CA and FL is because they have the best state laws to fight discrimination @LFLegal #AccessU | 2011-05-17T07:34:08-07:00 |
| a11yconf | via @Nethermind Wow, @LFLegal lists 16+ major companies that have made #a11y commitments b/c of #accessibility laws. #AccessU | 2011-05-17T07:33:18-07:00 |
| Nethermind | @LFLegal says, "money is part of the language of the law" & why it gets the "blunt instrument" reputation #AccessU | 2011-05-17T07:32:46-07:00 |

| Nethermind | 3 ways to enforce web accessibility: structured negotiations (the outstretched hand), lawsuits, and attorney general investigations #AccessU | 2011-05-17T07:28:44-07:00 |
| Nethermind | Wow, @LFLegal lists over 16 major companies that have made commitments to #a11y because of accessibility laws. Big list! #AccessU | 2011-05-17T07:26:37-07:00 |
| Nethermind | Talk to others about the civil rights aspect of web #a11y to help educate. #AccessU | 2011-05-17T07:25:02-07:00 |
| annchadwick | The law is more than a blunt instrument says Lainey Feingold at accessu. Yeah! #accessu | 2011-05-17T07:24:42-07:00 |
| DavidAKennedy | @LFLegal: "Web standards are the difference between people being able to use the website you?re building and not use it." #AccessU | 2011-05-17T07:24:05-07:00 |
| Nethermind | Building codes for physical access make sense to architects, allowing entry. Web #a11y standards should be viewed the same way. #AccessU | 2011-05-17T07:23:42-07:00 |
| Nethermind | Are some services viewed as "more important" or are all services online a basic civil right? Equality on the web means all the web. #AccessU | 2011-05-17T07:21:17-07:00 |
| a11yconf | On screen is a "do not enter sign" to illustrate the point that web accessibility is a civil right. #accessu | 2011-05-17T07:21:03-07:00 |
| a11yconf | "web accessibility is a civil right." says @lflegal during the opening plenary #accessu | 2011-05-17T07:20:06-07:00 |
| DavidAKennedy | @LFLegal: "Web accessibility is a civil right." #AccessU | 2011-05-17T07:19:34-07:00 |
| Nethermind | Web #accessibility is a civil right = info, services, participation, community, freedom from discrimination. @LFLegal #AccessU | 2011-05-17T07:18:38-07:00 |
| Lisa_barnett | Attending opening pres by LFLegal at #AccessU on the role of the Law in quest for accessible web. In the company of so much greatness! | 2011-05-17T07:17:49-07:00 |
