Facebook is now Lite

ll ya'll frustrated with the superfluous apps updates, or the loading time on your Facebook homepage, can heave a sigh of relief. The 'Lite' version of the social networking site has finally arrived. Facebook had introduced Facebook Lite a couple of weeks ago for and had enabled it for a select few to try out. Reports say that this additional version is now available all across US and apparently in India as well.
As we had mentioned in our last post on this, many Facebook fans aren't lucky enough to get on with the virtual socializing 'fast enough'. Browsing through pages and pages of updates, latest pictures, links to videos, and all that, sure consumes a lot of bandwidth. This Lite-r version will work wonders for them to stay connected with this popular medium.
Here's what Facebook is saying on the matter (emailed to Techcrunch):
"We decided to roll out Facebook Lite in the U.S. to give users a simple, expedient alternative to facebook.com, and hope that it will fill this need. While the majority of our user base is outside the United States, we're always working to enhance the new user experience even in markets where facebook.com is easily accessible. We have also found that people who are new to Facebook tend to be most interested in a simpler experience, focus on establishing their network of friends and communicating with them by writing on their walls, sending messages, and looking at pictures. We have introduced the Lite site with these new users in mind."
