Sue,
I use the mobile version of facebook all the time. The regular site is just too
much work, and that's difficult for me to admit because I am very internet
savvy.
I started using the application for vertual bookshelf, but after putting
several titles in, I just don't want to go through all the hastle. Sometimes I
press enter on a link and it doesn't go to the page it's suppose to go to when
I use the regular facebook site. It's just not worth the frustration.

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>

Subject: Facebook accessibility - Did you know
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.
