From home I am on Facebook. I even took one of those vanity URL's,
www.facebook.com/lloyd.rasmussen
I use it with Firefox 3.0.11 and Window-Eyes 7.1. Some "on click" items,
when activated, throw you out of Browse mode, so you refresh the page with
ctrl-shift-A to turn Browse back on. Other links, when activated, use
JavaScript to expose some more content that was hidden, and you usually use
insert-backslash to refresh the Browse buffer, then a Find command to
return to your place or to search for the name of someone. I haven''t used
the mobile version, chat or any of the apps. It's a challenge, but it's
fun and I learn a lot about people I know or have known. I have almost 60
friends after being on the service for about a month. I can solve most of
the audio captchas, and they do come up frequently as you add
friends. BTW, although cluttered beyond belief in FireFox, a Facebook page
looks a lot more cluttered with IE 7.
