[blindkid] facebook

[Brad/Jill Weatherd]

Hi,
My daughter uses facebook.  Sometime's she's had trouble with the capchas
and needed some help, but otherwise she can use it just fine.  Some of the
applications, like farmtown, aren't accessible, though.  Jill

Hi, I'm just wondering if any of your kids use face book and is it
accessible for them?

Hello:

     I have a FaceBook account and there are a number of NFB members on it. 
I find the interface awkward. FaceBook members search for and find friends 
and these form groups. Individuals can send mail to each other and also post

comments that can be read by their group of friends. The sign up uses a 
CAPTCHA and there is an accessible version. The accessible version has a 
variety of voices say numbers which you must type in. This only occurs once.

Regards,

Robert

I know of several blind teens who use facebook. I haven't heard of any 
problems for them.
