[nabs-l] Facebook and Accessibility (or rather lack there of)

[Brice Smith]

The mobile site simply does not have the same functionality as the
regular site. This is not a problem if you are a light user, but
anyone needing to use more advanced functions on the site will have to
use the regular version.

That said, I really don't find the regular version all that
inaccessible and don't understand the complaints about Facebook. While
I don't use Facebook much as an individual, I manage and update the
page for the organization I work with. I can post updates, link to
other organizations and pages much like twitter within statuses,
manage photos, and do just about everything else I'm required to
complete. What problems are you all experiencing?
