Hi all, I'd like to re-join Twitter after closing my account due to lack of
interest. The problem is that they say my e-mail address has already been
taken and I'd rather use this e-mail instead of my Hotmail one, or should I
use that anyway and just ignore the e-mail notifications. Please advise as
I'd like to try this Qwitter client. Thanks.

Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] twitter aps
At the moment there are three main popular applications blind people are
using to access Twitter, aside from the Websites. TWInbox is an add-on
that interfaces with Microsoft Outlook. If you use Outlook and always
keep it open, you may well find this program to your liking. Another
very popular applicaiton is McTwit, which was written from the ground up
with accessibility in mind. In addition, though they are not necessary
for the full functionality of the program, there are some very
excellently-written scripts for both JAWS and Window-Eyes which add to
the convenience of this program's use.
The third application, which is my application of choice, is Qwitter.
Its interface is based on the old Jawter scripts. So if you use Jawter,
you might want to give Qwitter a serious look because it offers
virtually all of the benefits of Jawter without the screen-reader lag
associated with the scripts going out and looking for new tweets. It
also works with multiple screen readers and even as a self-voicing
application with SAPI speech if one prefers. The nice thing about the
qwitter interface is that it is global. It doesn't appear in the
alt+tabbing order, so it's out of the way, but you can use its
keystrokes from within any application, you don't have to switch in and
out of any windows to make full use of it.
All of these solutions are excellent. Qwitter is my solution of choice,
but I don't think any of these solutions is universally better than any
of the others, it's a matter of which solution one prefers.

Hi there:
I really like jawter, I have tried several others but this is my fave.
You
can find it at http://randylaptop.com/software/jawter-2/
Of course you can only use it if you are a jaws user. It is also a
little
tricky to install, but the readme file is fantastic and will take you
through step by step. Otherwise, I like www.accessibletwitter.com
Hope that helps.
