  Yes I do use it,

      I find it simpler than using the facebook site.  There are not a lot of 
graphics and other junk that get in the way.

  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.
