Facebook Lite - Faster, Simpler and Better

No, I don't use Facebook, but I know that it is very important for a lot of people. Also, this one kinda made be into that thing.

So Facebook lite testing just started. This morning, some users received message that they are selected to beta testing.

Beta testers received this message:

"You have been selected as a beta tester for Facebook Lite!

We are building a faster, simpler version of Facebook that we call Facebook Lite. It's not finished yet and we have plenty of kinks to work out, but we would love to get your feedback on what we have built so far. Check out Facebook Lite now."

One of testers described Facebook-Lite:

It looks like a "FriendFeed-esque" version of Facebook.

The stream appears to be reduced to just status updates, likes, and comments - no activity stories, application stories, or embedded content appear. In addition, profile page tabs have been moved to the left side of the page, all basic info and small profile boxes have been removed, and the publisher is not open by default.

Maybe it is right time to start using the Facebook?
