I have never even visited Facebook. I understand that it is all very visually oriented. Is it really useful enough to us blind people that it is worth learning?

Lissi, If you ever change your mind about Facebook, I'd be more than glad to give you a quick tutorial; I had an extremely hard time learning to navigate as well *smile* It's definitely not something I think will be a required skill to enjoy Bookshare in the future; I just wanted you to know the offer was there if you wanted it.

Thebits and pieces of conversation I was able to find didn't seem worth theeffort, nothing of substance seemed to be said, or it was beyond me and mycomputer to get to it.With my very low partial vision, I didn't become aware of faces until I was a teenager. I knew they had eyes, noses and mouths, but had no idea peopledepended on looking at them and looked at them all of the time. Finally I learned to come as close as possible to appear to make eyecontact, but it's a chore I perform for courtesy, not something that informsme in any way. I hope it doesn't make me of less value as a volunteer that I hope not to have to go back to Bookshare's face again. And I hope these lists remainviable, where we can talk in complete thoughts, without the interruptions of constant navigational hops, pictures and graphics or whatever they are, thathave no meaning for us, and strings of links and phrase swapping. Always with love, Lissi ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andy B." <sonfire11@xxxxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, July 25, 2010 2:36 PMSubject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Surprises in Store at the Bookshare FacebookPage as We Celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the ADASorry, facebook groups and books about the ADA aren't my thing. -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx[mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Stacey RobinsonSent: Sunday, July 25, 2010 2:28 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxSubject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Surprises in Store at the Bookshare FacebookPage as We Celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the ADA Scott, I downloaded one of the books this morning. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Rains" <scottr@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, July 25, 2010 11:38 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Surprises in Store at the Bookshare Facebook Page as We Celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the ADAIn case you have not stumbled across it yet Bookshare has a few special items in store up on the Bookshare Facebook page in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the ADA.We are holding off on a press release until tomorrow but you can discoverhere one of the secrets.
