Facebook sure has come along way since I first started using it. The greatest improvement I found they've made is the excessibility feature with pictures people often post! To a sighted person, I'm not sure if this will make sense to you, but I will try and describe in the best way I can. When I first started, Facebook did not have an accessibility feature for describing photos. All you heard when ever you were looking at Facebook with a screen reader was, "Photo." Of course, as a blind individual I had no clue what that picture was of whether it be an object or face up until now. Here we are at 2016. They've now got to wear my voiceover will actually say the following when I come across a photo. "Image may contain, 1 person." And if a person is smiling, it will say, "Image may contain, 1 person smiling." If there are more than one person in a photo, it will specify just how many people are with in that photo! I'm very pleased with Facebook and their accomplishments, and I hope Twitter will do the same.
