Review of FriendFeed · Web2Access

Summary

There are some problems with keyboard navigation, along with zooming. Text and contrast is generally acceptable. There are several widgets available to help make links with friends but these are browser specific. The amount of different media used makes it very much up to users as to how accessible output is for a screen reader user. Flash player accessibility also depends on the browser used such as Internet Explorer.
