Facebook released Facebook Lite version which allow users to see quick and simple updates from their friends and post information. It was made for users with slow internet connection and available in United States and India. Yes, lite version looks like Twitter with quick links on top which allow people to post photo, video, or update status. To access Facebook Lite you need to follow: www.lite.facebook.com.

It is another step to move forward and compete with Twitter. Facebook already introduced live status updates, status tagging, and bought Friend Feed.

For those who loves Facebook applications… they are nowhere to be found in Lite version. Stay with regular site if you like to play games and answer quizzes.
