Facebook Lite
The world’s biggest social networking site has launched a slimmed-down version for people with slow or poor internet connections.
Facebook has said the Lite site will be faster and simpler because it offers fewer services than the main site.
Initially it is meant to support users in developing countries and where bandwidth constraints make the current version too slow to use.
Over the last few months I’ve noticed more and more people here using Facebook – the connection we’re got at the Uni has been gradually improving and it’s finally now got to the point where you can usually reliably load Facebook. But then we’re on a broadband connection – users in internet cafe’s etc have had slim chance of loading up Facebook when on a shared dial up connection. Now with Facebook Lite, I guess I’ll start to get many more friend requests…
