Hi Colin, First of all you can try the obvious by using http://m.facebook.com which is the stripped down version and works very well. However I am not a fan of this version as every time you delete something or make a change the page reloads to do a refresh as javascript is removed from this version. Using FB chat is doable but its tricky, I usually VO left arrow as soon as I load FB, but now I tend to chat on FB via an external chat client as it makes it easier when chatting to more than one person at the same time. I use Adium as I can chat to friends on MSN at the same time, AOL Messenger and iChat also allow this facility.
As for navigating the main FB page, I tend to use group mode quite a lot as FB is basically a 3 column design with a banner of links going from left to right at the top of the page. Group mode also makes it easier moving up and down etc within your inbox as this is a table of rows and columns. I usually find the what is on your mind button with either the item chooser by filtering the results by typing in mind (does not always work) or by using the forms rota and typing in mind there. Lately though, I have invested in a Magic Trackpad (if you have a Macbook than you have a smaller version of one of these already built into your mac) and this makes it easy to find stuff just by moving around with one finger. The whats on your mind field is always near the top in the middle column . FB is not the best site to work on, in fact its even a bit of a mess when you are sighted too. I used to get very frustrated with FB's constant redesign. Another tip to make navigating FB is to remove the apps you do not want and delete people you no longer chat to or have an interest in (sounds harsh I know but helps get rid of some of the clutter).
