Facebook Lite has been designed with users who have slow internet connections in mind. It’s stripped out a lot of the stuff you don’t use anyway and just gives you the basics – writing on walls, uploading photos etc. There are no apps. This is really a very joyous thing – no apps. What is the point of a Facebook app these days anyway? When Facebook was new and bright and shiny everyone loved these things but like any game you get tired of it. You stop playing and go back to just talking to your friends and it seems like this is what Facebook Lite is catering for. People who just want the core communication experience will start using this version more and leave the pie-chucking to others. Facebook’s strengths have always been that it enables real connections between real people and this Lite version brings that to the fore.
