Facebook is launching a newer, simplified version of the Facebook platform, called Facebook Lite. This news comes only a day after Facebook made its acquisition of FriendFeed and rolled out its Real-time Facebook Search.
Facebook Lite Looks like it’s a direct shot at Twitter. Coming hot off the heals of the FriendFeed acquisition. Be prepared for an outright war of Social Networks.
What is Facebook Lite?
Facebook Lite is a completely stripped-down version of the Facebook platform. It is almost like a Twitterstream: you can see your most recent status updates and the updates of your friends. There is a left-hand navigation with four main categories: Wall, Info, Friends, and Photos & Videos.
What Does Facebook Lite Look like?
If you take a look at it, Facebook Lite is strikingly similar to Twitter, but with the obvious Facebook feel. Here is a sneak peak screen shot courtesy of Hacker News
