Hi Harvey!

Thanks for the Braille Forum reference. I'll follow up on that.

I use the Facebook mobile site a lot, and it is great for some things. The
mobile site is a slimmeed down version of Facebook, and that is both
wonderful and pathetic. Wonder if those happen to be the parts of Facebook
you're trying to use, but pathetic if you have other needs that the
limitations of the mobile site never will deliver. 

There have also been recent articles about Facebook in Accessworld that
describe how progress has been made for navigating the main facebook site
with Jaws, but again, that progress is only so if you want to use those
portions of the FB environment. 

They have a number of aps for it on the Iphone, and the access there varies
both good and bad about every other week, so how good it is literally
depends on when you try it. Just don't think that something that works now
will be sure to work the same way tomorrow, because it will, or perhaps it
won't. hi hi. Gee, is this beginning to sound familiar? It may not be right,
but that's just the way it is.

73,
Dave

There is an article in the July Braille Forum which speaks of how to better
access Facebook, but I haven't read it yet.

Also, some people have found the mobile Facebook site to be more accessible
and easier to navigate, but it doesn't have all the bells and whistles.
That site is:

m.facebook.com

I would like to be on Facebook but the reason I'm not is just like Howard
discribed. I don't want to be a part of something that takes one or two
hours just to acomplish one thing. A number of my relatives back in Ohio are

on Facebook. The Ohio School For The Blind alumni association has a Facebook

page which I'd very much like to be a part of. However, until Facebook is
made just a little bit easier, I won't be going on it. As for Twitter, no
thanks! I don't wanna share my life's story with everyone on planet earth!
