[Nfbmt] anyone tried to use Facebook with an alternative software?

[Rik James]

Hello again,

I was catching up on my podcast listening and heard about GW SocialEyes software.
Have any of you all tried it?
I struggle periodically with using Facebook. Actually struggle regularly is the better way to describe it.
I mostly feel like it is such a time stealer just trying to wade through many things I am not all that interested in.
But it is a real viable communication tool these days. So I am exploring about alternative ways to use it.

To read more about it, read more below.
Thanks.
Rik

And if you are using it, let us know what is your experience. Okay?
If I think it will work, I would pay the 40 bucks for the annual subscription.
They say it works with all the screen reading software programs.

The podcast where I heard about it was on Eyes on Success:
