Review of LinkedIn · Web2Access

Summary

This is a very easy site to use with no adverts or extras to detract from the main point of linking up with people. There is a pro version and it is possible to add toolbars to Outlook and add to the complexity. At present this site is on the whole very accessible although it is odd that certain links such as add new note do not work in text mode or in WebbIE in text mode but work in graphic mode with keyboard only access. There are a few issues with different versions of JAWS when it comes to some actions within groups and presenting events - thanks to Jennison Asuncion for this information.
