Facebook Lite

[speg]

For all you Facebook haters out there, a beta version of Facebook lite is now available to current Facebook users in English. Enjoy no apps!

Also: Facebook is implementing @ tagging in statuses over the next few weeks. How Twittery.

Screw the devs, I haven't seen one "app" worth integrating into FB yet (and about 23091 that are able to annoy the hell out of me.

Much better! Wow it's amazing how much less stuff is on my "stories" page without all the useless crap.

Nope, it's pretty embarrassing because there could be some powerful tools or good games. Even the silly quizzes are done terribly.

Cool! Now I won't have to "report as spam" for every application my way

 

[Crusty]

Maybe I'll finally start to use Facebook again semi-regularly. Apps ruined the site IMO.

 

[skace]

Just checked it out, it really is good.

Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you!

It's really designed for people in India and China who have shitty connections and want to load Facebook faster, but without all the hassle.

 

[Deeko]

I bet this works really well on mobile connections.

 

[Gunbuster]

Now the people I know with no self control who keep whining about FB (Mafia Wars) being a distraction in their life can STFU.

But you have to block each app individually. Farmville, Farmtown, Farmland, Farm - STFU and leave me alone!

Not to mention there are 43016 different apps each for a different quiz...

Why should I go out of my way to do all of that when I can just as easily not go back to the site and still not miss out on anything. Now that I have the option to avoid ALL apps I can go back to using the site how I was before... keeping track of old friends and for event planning.

I would be happy to continue using the full facebook site if they included a feature to block all quiz results. I'll block the "what kind of shoe are you?" quiz, but then I'll get a notification for the "what's your favourite movie?" quiz.

I have fully blocked people from my wall if they have a 3 quiz day.

Best thing to happen to Facebook in ages. No more stinkin' apps!

 

[KeithTalent]

Looks good. :thumbsup:

[wahoyaho]
