Facebook Lite is Faster, and even more Twitter-like |
22 September 2009 |
Facebook is trimming down itself. Here we are talking about its layout and its page loading time, not the business scale of the social media giant. Although the acquisition talk between Twitter and Facebook failed last year, Facebook is taking advantage of the popularity and practicality of the design of Twitter to improve its own service - Facebook is increasingly Twitter-like.
The page layout of Facebook Lite is much cleaner and simpler. One of the most obvious changes in Facebook Lite compare to the classic version is that much of the navigation on the left is now gone, in order to allow for faster loading for the readable content. Moreover, the top status input bar is also gone, instead 3 new buttons ("Write", "Post Photos", and "Post Videos") are put up.
The new layout will probably keep more of its user to stay in use of the social media platform, as some of its users raise concern about its increasingly slow loading speed due to the relatively more complicating design of page layout. With its new inventions and practical renovations from time to time, Facebook will continue to attract and retain an increasing size of fan base in the world of Web 2.0.
