[Cabs-talk] Social Networking Sites

[Angela fowler]

Daisy, I appreciate the info. No, your not reiterating, since no one has
mentioned rearranging friends yet, that I have seen. If you have any other
problems with these sites, please let me know.

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.
