Facebook Lite to challenge Twitter



Posted by: Nathan Simon
facebook, twitter, facebook lite, new version of facebook, social networking, social network, facebook.com, lite.facebook.com

Okay I know this isnt exactely tech news, or news about Vmware, or anything else. BUT it is news about two of the most popular socializing networks, Facebook and Twitter.

Picture this a stripped down version of facebook, where you can do everything you need to stay in touch with your friends, post to peoples wall, check out pictures, and message people, all while suppressing the games and videos that annoy people.

They may be catering to low bandwidth people also, but i think its a move to make it quicker and easier, while keeping all the core components. I say do it.

Facebook Lite was exposed to the masses when invitations to try out the new version were sent out. The new URL did not work of course… but it will eventually, the URL took keep a lookout for is lite.facebook.com.

People, specifically teenagers are craze on exploring and visiting their favorite socializing networks, such as Twitter and Facebook. It has been reported that Twitter site is down and Facebook is slow. If you are the sort of person that feels the need to inform everyone about every little inane thing you’re doing that nobody in their right mind cares about in the slightest, then this is not your day, as a state of existence of Twitter down has come to pass. Twitter down causes people of stunted intelligence and teenagers (of stunted intelligence) everywhere to cry and shake uncontrollably, and Facebook slow…panic and chaos will set in. Dogs and cats will live together, and there will be mass hysteria – among people of stunted intelligence! Many will throw cash advances and massive efforts to prevent Twitter down being a condition they have to face again.
