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.
