With the recent popularity boom of Twitter, we have seen Facebook flip-flop on its future plans. But today I took a look at a new release from Facebook called Facebook Lite.
Check it out at: lite.facebook.com
What is the purpose of Facebook Lite?
The main goal is to trim down the Facebook that we are all used to and present a much cleaner and faster loading Facebook client that gets rid of the unnecessary Facebook apps and extras. The other reason for Lite is that Facebook is now becoming hugely popular in developing countries where internet speeds are routinely slow or where internet may only be only available on mobile phone networks. Facebook Lite allows users to quickly check out there online profile since it loads in approximately 1/4 of the normal time.
The Verdict?
I like it. I can’t say that I will always check Facebook Lite compared to the regular Facebook, but Facebook Lite has about 95% of the content I want to see so why bother with all the extra bells and whistles that I don’t even care about.
