Facebook prepares Facebook Lite
Iam a Facebook addict like most of you. I got mixed feelings when I learned that Facebook is currently testing a new and “faster, simpler versionof Facebook” called Facebook Lite.
It looks like Facebook has tonight turned on a feature called “Facebook Lite” for some users to test out. We’re getting bombarded by tips about it, and some of us are seeing it as well. Unfortunately, it appears that it may not be fully ready for prime time yet,
Facebook prepares Facebook Lite
So what is it? Well, it looks to be exactly what it says it is, a lighter version of Facebook. The beta tester message reads:
We are building a faster, simpler version of Facebook that we call Facebook Lite. It’s not finished yet and we have plenty of kinks to work out, but we would love to get your feedback on what we have built so far.
With Facebook’s servers principally located in the US but with its fastest growth coming in countries beyond its shores, the company is seeking ways to bring on users while not tying up their dialup connections, which at 56 kilobits per second (kbps) are roughly one-tenth as quick as even slow broadband connections – and only one-fortieth as quick as the 2 megabits per second (Mbps) baseline suggested as acceptable by the Digital Britain report.
The “Lite” version is expected to use smaller pictures and lower-resolution videos in order to speed up downloads of the page.
Cherian, on Twitter, told the Guardian that its positive points were
“better friends tab” but that the negatives were that it was “too Twitter like, too much text and white space, more scrolling, overall..very boring.”
