When I was considering joining Facebook a year ago, I read various online articles in the hopes of finding out whether FB was screen reader friendly and/or to see what others who use screen readers have experienced in terms of accessibility. While I don't recall the specifics, I remember reading letters and forum discussions at the American Foundation For The Blind who along with a sixteen year old high school student, Michelle was working with the director of development, Jeff(I believe) for Facebook in attempting to making the site accessible to the blind/visually impaired. Although FB's frequent changes may suggest otherwise, the company seems open to helping bridge the accessibility gap so has anyone approached them about complying to web standards and showing how this would benefit a segment of the population they apparently seem willing to accommodate?
