Freedom Scientific Podcast about Twitter

RantWoman is stashing this here as much for her own edification as anything; perhaps someone else will find it useful.

month it is all about using Twitter. It can be downloaded from

This month's FSCast discusses the use of the social networking site
Twitter in conjunction with JAWS® screen reading software and PAC Mate Omni™ accessible Pocket PC.

Jonathan Mosen speaks with Shannon Reece, Pratik Patel, and Mika Pyyhkala, who actively use Twitter with Freedom Scientific products. They discuss what Twitter is, how to sign up, and some third party applications and services they use to make the most of it.

Jonathan then speaks with Sean Randall, the author of Jawter, a set of JAWS scripts that give you access to Twitter from within any application while JAWS is running.

We're then joined by Jamal Mazrui, author of McTwit. This is a powerful
application written specifically for blind Twitter users, with functions
accessible using a series of keyboard commands.

If you use Microsoft Outlook®, you can send and receive tweets, and run Twitter searches,
right from within your inbox. The Chief Executive of TechHit, Alex Kovalchuk, tells us about
TWInbox, formerly known as OutTwit.

While the main Twitter site works very well with JAWS, Accessible
Twitter offers a number of enhancements that makes the Twitter
experience easier. It's creator, Dennis Lembree, tells us all about it.

During our discussions, we mention a number of other Twitter tools. Here are links
to a few.

Twikini is a Windows Mobile Twitter client that's easy to use, and works
well with PAC Mate Omni.
