While the world at large shifts to speedier connections through DSL, WiMAX or even CIR pipes there are people who still access the Internet through dial-ups and hence face delays. The ones accessing image intensive websites on their mobiles also share a similar experience. The site that is home to some 250 million earthlings has realized this and is trying to improve the user’s experience by launching a lighter version. The new “FaceBook Lite” site will have less graphics and hence will load sooner, hopefully. A trial version has been launched in the US and India and others places will have the “Lite” version soon. The stripped down interface has less of toolbars areas from users homepages, links, images and status updates. Resultantly there is more of white space that shows applications, videos, photos and the much needed adverts, and hence the jump in speed. Maybe MySpace or Orkut can learn a thing or two from FaceBook.
Visit http://lite.facebook.com/ and see the preview for yourself.
We’ve got couple of screenshots available for you.
