[Blindtlk] Tagging people on Facebook.

[Chris Nusbaum]

Judy,

Unfortunately, tagging works on the desktop Facebook site (www.facebook.com) but not on the more accessible mobile site (m.facebook.com.) On the regular site, you would type the @ sign followed by the name of the person you want to tag. Usually a list of names will pop up while you are typing from which you can choose your desired name.

If you have an iOS device, it is somewhat easier to tag friends in the Facebook app. To do this, just start typing the name of the person you wish to tag, then scroll down until you find a list of matching names. Once you have found the one you want, just double tap that name and the person will be tagged.

Hope this helps,

Chris

I would really like you guys’ advice about tagging people on Facebook.

The minimal instructions Facebook gives says you can tag a person by simply placing an at sign in front of their name.  I have tried to tag my daughters this way, but they tell me that the at-sign shows up in front of their names, just as I typed it, and is not a tag.  Again, We are all on FB together.  How do I tag using Jaws, and how do I know that I have done it correctly?

Thanks very much.

Judy
