Penny, that's a suctscint summary of the situation re. Face book accessability.
I tend to agree. After all, Google has done much to make their services accessible to us and I think that's an example of what others providing net-based services should be doing too. Ray.

The Serotek products do seem to help, but the "Socializer," which is supposed to make FaceBook and Twitter and other online community web sites more accessible is a for-purchase product. It seems to me that it is a violation of the ADA for us to have to purchase something to make a web site that everyone else takes for granted useable. I am not faulting Serotek, I appreciate the effort they have gone through to meet this need, but, quite frankly, I am tired of having to pay extra to make my cell phone talk, to access this and that on and offline, and I think that the owners of the FaceBook domain should have to make their web site accessible or bear the cost of products that allow those of us who cannot see to use it.
