I should clarify that what you've described is exactly what I want facebook to do, and what it's not doing. ----- Original Message ----- From: Brandon Keith To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, January 15, 2011 7:13 PM Subject: Re: Facebook, again It does it automatically after you post it. I don't think there is any way to disable it. Your link will be there in the post, then underneath what you've written the name of the video will be there, along with the website it's from.

I can paste a link, but I want to embed it so that the link is actually the name of the youtube video, for example, and not a meaningless URL. You can do this with the regular facebook page. I can see one name or item, but underneath that jaws only says "photo". Each one is a link. But I don't want to have to click on a link to determine who the person is or what the item might be. HOpe this makes sense. heheh ----- Original Message ----- From: Brandon Keith To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, January 15, 2011 6:59 PM Subject: Re: Facebook, again Hello, Just paste the link into the edit box in which your post is in if you want to post a link. You can see people's names your friend added, you just can't click on them. It's a fast chain of names under the one or two linked people you see. FB changes every second, so This is info I've found in the last few days. FB is changing so much that we are always having to find new ways of using FB, so all I can say is experiment and send FB suggestions on how they can make FB more accessible.

I'm sure everyone's tired of facebook and all its ubiquity and quirks being discussed on here, but I just got on board with the thing and am finally figuring out how to use it best. I do find, like many screenreader-using folks it seems, that the mobile site is less of a headache. However, I have a couple of questions: 1. Is there a way to embed videos and links in your posts using the mobile site as you can with the standard facebook page? 2. This one is more jaws related...I'd like facebook to display the names of people and interests and so on rather than photos. What i mean by that is that, as most users probably know already, facebook will tell you that, for example, someone on your friends list has added so-and-so as a friend, along with six other people. The first person's username is given, but the rest show only photos. SImilarly, if I click on someone's profile, I can see only one item for each category listed displayed as text links, while the rest are all images. If I click on each image I can find out what they actually represent, but needless to say I would rather not do this. Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message.
