Facebook Offers E-mail Alternative to CAPTCHA

Facebook e-mail alternative to the CAPTCHA

Guest Blogger, Adrianna Montague-Gray, Communications Manager

Just one day after we released our report on the accessibility of social networking sites, Facebook has added an e-mail alternative to their CAPTCHA. Thank you, Charlie and Miss Rogue, for helping us get the word out! And thank you, Facebook, for taking this important step. We look forward to using your site, and hope other social networking sites follow your lead in offering an alternative for registration.

UPDATE: We tested the e-mail alternative and the good news is customer services got back to us pretty quickly. Unfortunately, we didn't get the CAPTCHA issue resolved, but we're hoping Facebook is developing a solution that works for everyone.

I am a fcaebook member and I am glad Facebook has responded so quickly. I also applaud AFB for using You Tube to get their attention. What a great way to use today's technology to your advantage. Very cool.
