Facebook Lite Simplifies Experience for Users

Facebook has been a popular social networking site loaded with features for users to enjoy. While these feature have propelled Facebook to popularity, they cause long loading times for some clients who have slow internet connections or simply get in the way of those who do not want all these features. In response to this, Facebook has reportedly been testing a new "lite" version of the site, which is similar to their current "mobile" version designed for phones.

This new Facebook brings it back to its roots before all the added features: users can write on each other’s walls, accept friend requests, and post pictures of their friends for others to see. It does remove the numerous third-party applications which are prevalent among the normal Facebook and which some people find rather intrusive to their experience. While many people may enjoy taking the various quizzes or playing the games, they often clutter people’s news feeds and send unnecessary notifications for those who do not bother with these apps. The new Facebook lite especially reaches out to those in third-world countries who lack broadband access and do not want to wait for a bunch of applications and advertisements to load simply to check who wrote on their wall.

This move follows those of Myspace and Twitter, both of which attempt to simplify social networking by stripping down unnecessary features and focusing on those that count. Myspace has released a lite version of their site, while Twitter strips all except for the ability to post 140-character statuses. This trend signifies a divide in the social networking community, with some who embrace many features and those who only want the basics.
