I'm not sure what you mean re twitter although it is problematic in some ways, I can use it just fine on my mac and on iOS. As for long pages, I'd think that permitting structure would be extremely helpful.

Both long pages and short pages with links can be made to work for people, but I wonder what our recommendation from an accessibility standpoint should be about those pages which endlessly scroll using JavaScript, without anchors to particular places in the page, or the ability to use the back button to get back to where you were. I'm thinking of sites like Twitter and tumblr, which use JavaScript to make an endlessly scrolling page. The real difficulty with pages like those is a usability one, but from an accessibility standpoint I wonder what other people feel about them. The inability to return to a static point in a page can cause a lot of difficulties. -Deborah Deborah Kaplan Accessibility Team Co-Lead Dreamwidth Studios Jim Tobias wrote: > I hope that we agree that trying to nail this issue down once and for all, for all users, sites, and reasons for the > user to be at the site, is a hopeless cause. -- Jonnie Appleseed With His Hands-On Technolog(eye)s touching the internet Reducing Technology's disabilities One Byte At a time
