Hi,

I haven't been sent a message on FaceBook so I haven't been able to try to reply. While I have had a FB account for a while, I pretty well ignored it so yesterday was my first real attempt to do anything terribly interesting. It's the nature of being a research bum - deadlines can be insane especially if one only knows about a quarter of the material before diving in and writing something about it for a piece of a proposal.

So, in my 24 hours of actual use, I have found that the mobile site and the iPhone app are the easiest ways to do most things. In the big site, I found a lot of double speaking and other random VO behaviors that, while not catastrophic, were far more annoying than the little bug-a-boos on the mobile site.

Sorry I can't be more helpful.  "Friend" me if you like.

Hey Chris,

Have you actually tried responding to a message sent to you through Facebook? Using VO, every time I try responding to a message on the regular Facebook site, I can type only so much text, and then Safari crashes. It happens every time. I need either to go to my Windows machine or go to the Mobile Facebook site.

Thanks Chris,

Russell

Sorry for the cross post but I'm jamming on a white paper regarding screen reader support in social network sites. I've enjoyed looking up old high school buddies and am glad to see how few are in jail.

I've tried Face book in its regular site in Safari, using its mobile site in Safari, using the mobile site on my iPhone and using the iPhone app to access it. It seems mostly accessible but, for the life of me, I cannot find out where I can add personal information like location city and other profile information. Under "profile" I find nothing that sounds like it belongs under that title but their definition and mine may vary.

Please help.
