[Electronics-talk] List topics and help with Facebook[was"Electronics-talk Digest, Vol 49, Issue 2"]

[Christopher Chaltain]

I'm not sure what your point is, but I'm not sure just pointing someone to
m.facebook.com answer's Brian's original question. Not every feature of
Facebook is available through m.facebook.com, and we don't know what Brian
is trying to do on Facebook, e.g. applications, chat, .... The question of
accessing Facebook is more complicated than just pointing someone to the
mobile site. Given that Brian asked if he were posting to the right list,
and given that Facebook accessibility is a complicated question that can't
be answered with a one liner, I still think David handled it well. If I
wanted a discussion on how to use Facebook with JAWS, I'd subscribe to the
list David recommended or the one I posted. Again, I think this could start
us down a slippery slope, and I think tactfully and politely pointing
someone to a place where they can get more information is the right thing to
do.

A few points, if I may. First, the original poster specifically wanted to
know if he was using the correct list or not. I think David very tactfully
explained that to him and gave him a pointer to an appropriate list. In so
doing, I think David did provide him some really quick help. Other than
that, I'm not sure this question has a real quick answer, and I for one,
don't want this list to go down that slippery slope.

BTW, another resource for help with Facebook is the following list, which is
dedicated to blindness related Facebook issues:

* To learn more about the b-f-b group, please visit

Finally, getting really quick help, or any help for that matter, would be
facilitated with a better subject line!
