Another win for ATAG: Twitter adds alt text

Jan Richards and I had a lot of conversations with Twitter A11y team 
about adding alt text to images to conform to ATAG 2.0.

Twitter announced today that alternative text can now be added to 
Twitter using their Android or iOS apps.

Yay!  Thanks to Todd Kloots, who drove this issue inside of Twitter.

For EOWG, two weeks ago, Wordpress publicly committed to WCAG AA, and 
one of their lead A11y contributors, Joe Dolson blogged that the next 
step was ATAG conformance.

paragraph:

"What’s next? Embracing the guidelines in the Authoring Tool 
Accessibility Guidelines <https://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/atag.php>. It’s 
not enough to make it possible to succeed; we should be trying to make 
it impossible to fail. "

Thanks, EOWG, for all the help promoting ATAG.  It is great to see the 
influence of ATAG spreading.
