Subject: [games_access] SIG Twitter Account

Hi everyone,

I created a Twitter account like other IGDA SIGs to report on news  
and requests that we are looking for answers to and to allow  
developers (and anyone else) to follow our Tweets. :)

It is my hope that this can be a way to help gamers with disabilities  
find resources like AbleGamers, OneSwitch, Game Forward and other  
groups that are set up to help give voice to members of this community.

I also hope that this will serve as a way to help developers  
understand accessibility, help get our inquiries out to a larger  
audience. I also hope that this will be the first step to help  
support Game Developers with Disabilities by letting them know that  
we are here to support them as we develop DIG (developers with  
disabilities).

Our page is at http://twitter.com/IGDAGameAccess -- please "follow"  
the SIG if you are on Twitter. :) I will post "digest" summaries to  
the list of topics raised for those not on Twitter. In order to grow  
as a professional organization, we must use any and all ways to get  
out the game accessibility message and support the projects of all of  
our members, as well as our own.

Michelle
