Easy Chirp is a third-party web-based Twitter interface. It is a web-accessible application meaning that it's optimized for disabled users and users of assistive technology. Easy Chirp is also useful for those with older technologies such as Internet Explorer 6, low-band Internet connection, and lack of JavaScript support. The simple interface is ideal for beginning Twitter and web users. The website appeared in early 2009, originally named Accessible Twitter, and was renamed to Easy Chirp in June 2011.[1] The website was created by an individual web developer who also maintains a podcast and blog about web accessibility called Web Axe.

Easy Chirp received the 2010 AFB Access Award[2] and the 2009 Access IT @web2.0 Award.[3] The website was nominated for "Best API Use" in .net magazine's 2010 Best of the Web awards and nominated in the 2009 and 2010 Blind Bargains Access Awards.[4][5] Easy Chirp was also the RNIB featured website for December 2011.[6]
