Facebook shuts its Facebook Lite

2 Comments 22 April 2010

After staying with around 7 months with lite, Facebook has shut down its lite site.

Facebook Lite was aimed to be for users having slow and poor internet connection.

The slimmer and streamed down version of Facebook was loved by many users, but many were also unhappy with the same. Some were facing the issues to switch back to normal Facebook, though Facebook provided the functionality to switch between the 2 versions.

According to official Facebook community,

Thanks to everyone who tried out Facebook Lite. We’re no longer supporting it, but learned a lot from the test of a slimmed-down site. If you used Lite, you’ll now be taken to the main Facebook.com site.

As per Ray Valdes of Gartner Research - “I think a lot of the Facebook experience was left out of Lite, especially the monetisable parts”.

Lite site was offering fewer features as compared to the main Facebook site. Whatever may be, Facebook lite was good for slow-speed internet connections.
