Hi,
1. I think you might want to paste the link or the address to your posts (not sure though, as I use standard Facebook page for most of my posts it motherobile version on my BrailleNote for viewing posts). 2. I think you might want to click the actual post or video to view who likes it. For other Facebook materials, there is a mailing list for Facebook users who are blind or visually impaired. From Google (or similar sites), such for Blind Facebook Users or B-F-B.
Cheers,
Joseph

Subject: Facebook, again

Hello everyone.
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.
