Facebook Lite given the ‘Thumbs Down’ by Big Brother

Posted on: 04-21-2010 Posted in: Internet

Facebook Lite, a basic version of the popular social-networking website for people with poor internet connections, has shut down.

Initially launched in September 2009, Facebook Lite targeted people with poor connectivity and only offered basic functions.

Sophy Silver from Facebook told Web User: “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.”

The company were reluctant to give any further information on the closure.

Those endeared to Facebook Lite have made their disappointment public on Lite’s page, with one such supporter claiming  ”It was the first good thing Facebook’s done in over a year.”

Facebook accounted for 6.22 per cent of visits to all websites from UK users during the last week of March, according to web-monitoring company Hitwise.
