Facebook Lite

I am a Facebook addict like most of you. I got mixed feelings when I learned that Facebook is currently testing a new and "faster, simpler version of Facebook" called Facebook Lite. Some Facebook user received this message upon logging in their account today:

A user who was chosen to be beta-tester described Facebook Lite this way:

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.

Here's what a Facebook spokesperson said about Facebook Lite:

Can I play Yoville and Restaurant City in Facebook Lite? That remains to be seen. I'm crossing my fingers that it would be possible :P
