Not hours after Facebook announces @mentions/tagging of status updates, Facebook lite goes live.
Yes, the Facebook lite service that became public knowledge a couple of months of back was supposedly intended for international users with slower connections. However a peak at the new Facebook lite and how its been introduced shows a complete design revamp and an ideal counter-offer for what Twitter has to offer.
Sadly, the site is currently available only to US users, where internet connections are particularly slow(?).</sarcasm> Update: Now India too.
Simply put, this is a slimmer, slender and faster version of Facebook.com. With less of the invites and mess, but more of the content.

Been playing with the new lite version and really like it! So much less clutter – could for sure give Twitter a run for its money. IMHO…

With the launch of Facebook Lite I’m wondering if this notion still holds. Verrrry interesting.
Facebook Lite already available in India. I was using it from 10 or more days. but facebook search is not working great lke it’s working in older version filter search by people, pages, group. it’s not in new version search. may be new search commin to facebook, in that we’ll able to do that.
