Correct. I must have misunderstood your intention when you discussed
Facebook and Twitter relative to this discussion.

They are indeed different, and have
different uses. I was not arguing about one being better than the
other, either. However, most applications I have encountered on the
normal Facebook interface (if not all) are not accessible through the
mobile interface, since they have not created it for the blind, rather
for those that want to quickly check their facebook through their
cellphones.

Re: Facebook accessibility - Did you know
Parham,
Twitter and Facebook, while both considered social networking sites are
very different. Comparing how JAWS works with them isn't a valid
discussion. Twitter has less graphical content on its pages, certainly
making it more accessible out of the box. But Facebook allows for very
different kinds of communication and networking. What I was trying to
find out was whether or not people were finding that they could use the
accessible version of Facebook to do all the things that those who are
using the "regular" site are doing. And yes, of course, I could explore
for myself. But not everyone uses every feature of Facebook so I was
hoping those on the list could provide info about the applications and
such on the site that I don't regularly encounter.

The problem with that version,
however, is since it's the mobile version, most of the applications are
not available in it. I'd rather use Twitter.

I prefer the accessible
Facebook site, which seems to work pretty well with JAWS. It is much
easier to navigate than the regular Facebook site.

Do you use it Laura? Does it work better for you than the regular, more
graphical, site? I might have heard about it on this or another list,
but at the time it filtered through that part of my brain that isn't
being used unless it is really needed. <grin>

Hi all,
Has anyone else tried the accessible version of Facebook's site. You
can find it at: http://m.facebook.com
As more people have asked in training about Facebook I've been trying
to come up with instructions and quick ways to get places and such. I
decided to read their help center to see if they mentioned anything
about screen readers and sure enough they did! I sent this link on to a
former client yesterday who said she'd been struggling with Facebook
for weeks. I had a note back from her already this morning saying that
she was able to find everything she'd been looking for on the regular
site using this accessible version. It would be interesting to hear
other feedback on this.
