Tell us about the accessibility of the site:
The best accessibility tool for this site seems to be the alternate site for mobile use. They do use standard cotrols like check boxes and such. However, on the regular facebook page it is very difficult to find what you are looking for. Even using the Jaws find command does not always work.

Tell us about the accessibility of the site:
Overall, yahoo is a very busy site. However, I had little problem navigating and finding what I wanted. I did have some difficulty getting the email to refresh when the automatic page update feature was turned off. I also had problems with the application mode feature. When I would turn the application mode feature off it took a very long time for JAWS to go back to using the PC cursor and not forms mode. This caused me to press enter on links when I thought I was just turning forms mode off.
