About the Webinar
Part 5: Accessible Social Media (How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love Web 2.0)
Gone are the days of holding off on using Web 2.0 services because of accessibility concerns. With the internet becoming more and more the nervous system of society, it important for your organization to participate to the fullest. With the open nature of the modern web there are ways to deal with access issues. This webinar covered access issues to be aware of when using the major social media services (Facebook, Twitter etc), and strategies to overcome these barriers.
