[nfb-talk] Facebook

Like many others have commented-Probably need to update your screen reading software and going in on m.facebook.com is much more efficient than going in on www.facebook.com. I use FB on my Windows PC that way, but now also on an iPhone and an iPad Mini. Occasionally frustrating but primarily because FB updates with subtle changes almost daily. Keep at it though and you will get the hang of it!

Hi, fellow Federationists, 

To make a long story short, I agreed to have my picture taken for Facebook as part of a cause I am involved with here in Maine.  That kind of inspired me to try to subscribe to Facebook.  I have done so and have had several friend requests.  But I am very new at this.  I was with a sighted friend this afternoon and we were both getting frustrated because it wasn’t doing what it was supposed to do.  Things kept getting deselected, for example.  How do we do things like post to friends and look for other people we may want to “friend?”  How well does JAWS work with Facebook?  I have Windows 7 and JAWS 12.  Is there a tutorial one can find on-line to help novices?  Is there a book on BARD or available in accessible format anyone can recommend?  Do I have to do anything with cookies to make this work more effectively?  These are not urgent questions, but since everyone seems to use Facebook, I figured I would give it a try.  Thank you for any suggestions you may have.
