[Cabs-talk] Social Networking Sites

[Daisy Soto]

Hello:

  The capcha  coddes, for me, have been the most difficult part when
working with both MySpace and FaceBook. The capcha's for MySpace (wich
are required for signing up, and at times for sending messages,
comments, or adding friends.), are completely impossible to read with
a screen-reader. FaceBook has audio, but I agree that it is extremely
difficult to understand.

  One other challenge I have had has been rearranging friends on
MySpace; to do this you must move people by using the mouse, wich
makes it not possible to do with Jaws.

 I don't know if this information helps any, because I feel that it's
mainly reidderating what's all ready been said, but this is my
experience with the sites.
