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>

                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.
                
                
                
                Sue B.
