RE: [LIKELY JUNK]Greasemonkey script improves Twitter accessibility

Wouldn't it be better the twitter coders will be forced to make their site (e.g. all their links) accessible according to 508 and WCAG 1.0?
 
That's like putting bandages on holes in your car doors.

Subject: [LIKELY JUNK]Greasemonkey script improves Twitter accessibility


Twitter [1] users may want to check out Gez Lemon's Twitter Focus
Greasemonkey script.
http://juicystudio.com/article/twitter-focus.php


It makes the Twitter microblogging app more keyboard accessible. As
described at Juicy Studio, "Considering the standard Twitter website
is so basic, it's surprising it is so inaccessible. This Focus Twitter
Greasemonkey script puts the favourite, reply and delete links into
the keyboard tab order to make it easier for keyboard-only users to
use Twitter."

Gregory Rosmaita added Gez's script to the start of an "Accessible
Collaborative Tools" XTech Wiki page. Please feel free to contribute
to that page [2]. Or let us know if you have an additions and we'll
add them.

Many thanks.

Best Regards,
Laura
