Hi,
No, the games and other third-party applications are not available on the
mobile site. They are also not available on the Facebook Lite site,
although you can access your groups and events.
The mobile site:
http://m.facebook.com
was developed for use with mobile devices, although some people with
screenreaders prefer it to the regular site, which is cluttered with
various advertisements, graphics, and flotsam that screenreaders might
have trouble with.
In case people don't know, FB Lite came out in August and is only in the
developing stages. People in the US who already have Facebook accounts
can preview it by going to:
http://lite.facebook.com
It is not quite as stripped down as the mobile site, but it is optimized
for users on slower or intermittent internet connections. Facebook Lite
offers fewer services, excludes most third-party
applications and requires less bandwidth.
I personally have no problem using JAWS in conjunction with the main
Facebook site. If anyone would like help with this, I created a two-part
tutorial for Main Menu. If anyone would like a copy, please e-mail me
privately.
Hth,
Erin

HI.
I am using the main site without too many problems.
I have found that some of the games work fairly well as long as you are
able to navigate a web site effectively.
do you get the applications and games on the lite site?
thanks

I don't know how it works with jaws 7 on the main facebook site,
however,
once your account is set up, there are 2 alternative sites you can use.
The Mobile site, which should work well with jaws 7.
http://m.facebook.com
And then there is their beta site that is much easier to use than the
real
site.
http://lite.facebook.com
Note that you already have to have a facebook account for either of
these
sites to work. There are many blind people using facebook, but most of
them
use the mobile site. The only thing you don't get on the mobile site is
the
applications and games.
