[gui-talk] FaceBook and MySpace

Mon Jul 27 12:56:01 UTC 2009

I think facebook is for all ages and that all most everybody is on it from 
classmates from the past to family members, to church members. From what I 
am geathering facebook is blind friendly as aposed to Myspace. For face book 
do you have to get somebody to sign y9ou up or can we as blind people do it? 
If so can some one tell me hat link to click on to sign up? Thanks in 
advance.
