If colleagues have not come across the highly critical perspective of Facebook by journalist Tom Hodgkinson in the Guardian newspaper (UK) earlier this week they may find it of interest.

Hi Everyone

Thanks to Heather at JISC for letting me know about this.

If you belong to Facebook, a final year student is doing a project on
accessibility issues in Facebook for people with visual impairments.

If you are part of the Facebook community and would like to help, join his
group at http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=5967339981&ref=nf and he
will send you a few questions for you to answer.

Best Regards

Sharon.
