Okay, this has been out for awhile, but didn't really have the time to blog about it until now. As some of you might have known, Facebook has been looking through the comments of its users, in an attempt to stay up-to-beat with its rivals. One constant complaint is the cluttered-ness of its user-interface these days... I'm sure many older users, will remember the days, before the interface change... when things were so much more simplified.
Well, in response, Facebook has launched its new interface... Say hello to Facebook Lite
Still in a somewhat beta stage, it is already making a huge difference over the mother site. Mainly, in its loading time. Just take a look at the lack of side bars and clutter on the main page.
Oh, and did I mention that there is no irritating-clutter informing you that your sister has just leveled up in god-knows-where cafe... or that your grandmother needs your explicit help in a boss fight for mafia wars... Nopex... it is just status, comments, photos and videos... like it should be.

And yes, the profile page loads so much more quickly without all the widgets and what-nots on everyone else's page.
The main reason I love the lite version is the photos and comments. I love how the comment bar is not shifted up to the right, so that you do not have to scroll down with each photo just to read the one or 2 liners commented there.
And did I mention the loading time?
Videos seem to stream at a faster rate too =3
The main downsides about Facebook Lite are: 1) The neglect on the games... I couldn't find any links to the games. 2) The lack of the chatbox, to see who is online, and to just make a direct comment or two.
However, I still feel that it is a great way to photo-stalk or browse through the hundreds of photos that people are uploading these days... A sec or 2 saved on each, really adds up to quite a bit ^^x
And since, you can remain logged in to both the Lite and Main Facebooks sites, I just use it mainly for photos and videos, and turn to the main site for games and chatting =3
