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

[Sam Hogle]

I agree that it can be used. However, my issues with it have been that 
it doesn't allways want to cooperate with Jaws when it comes to me 
trying to post stuff since what I'm posting comes up way than slower 
than my typing speed, I can't easily view my news feed, and there is 
just too much crap on the page in general. That last complaint may not 
be as valid since I'm what you might call a light user. I update my 
stattus and profile on a regular basis, but I'm not interested in any of 
the games, which I hear are not at all accessable. So, the mobile sight 
has allways been way better for me. But, we're all different, so what 
works for some won't work for all.
