I agree with Donna. The time I logged on to Facebook when I had my PC, I could always update status and/or post on friends' walls with ease. At the time I used Window-Eyes screen reader and it was easy to use FB main page to update status. Now, there were other aspects of FB such as chat, applications, and even the share function I could never figure out. I had a difficult time changing my profile info too. I always had to get sighted help and they said they noticed, the screen reader would even speak labels, links, or items that weren't even on the page. One friend said "I can see the screen while listening to the speech and I'm confused. How do you deal with this?"
Outside of the updating status or writing on walls, I have found that when using my iMac and Voiceover, the main FB site seems "clearer" and not as confusing as when using Window-Eyes. I also find I have access to many more things on FB now that I use VO and my Mac. Even posting comments to my friends' updates was a major confusing chore on the PC but with Mac, my only early struggles came when adjusting to this new concept of when to interact and when not. In fact, in general, when using my PC, I could NEVER access any online forms on any site successfully. Maybe it was just my inability to grasp how to do it but with VO, I find that I am able to fill out forms and register for events, races, gatherings much easier. In situations like this, I wish I was more tech savvy or knowledgeable about computers, applications, and other aspects to provide better insight.
