Facebook Lite in Beta

Hurray for all the quiz/app/notification-haters! Facebook is building a “faster, simpler version of Facebook” called Facebook Lite. The slimmed down version is far from finished, but a happy few have been given an early preview. It was shortly available to random beta testers at http://lite.facebook.com but appears to have been pulled already. Miami-based entrepreneur Jason L. Baptiste managed to take some screenshots while it was up, and posted them over at his blog. The back to basics approach of Facebook Lite might be able to attract some of the Twitter crowd (back) to the largest social network in history. And judging by the small number of members of the first anti-Facebook Lite group, existing users are not disliking it either.
