It appears as if Facebook is tired of the attention whore, Twitter. A few users, on Facebook have been invited to join a test site called Facebook Lite. Facebook is definitely up to something as it just acquired Friendfeed. Facebook also recently rolled out realtime search, a big hit on twitter and part of what many believe is their monetizing strategy.
Selected users received the following message on their Home page:
“You have been selected as a beta tester for Facebook Lite!
We are building a faster, simpler version of Facebook that we call Facebook Lite. It’s not finished yet and we have plenty of kinks to work out, but we would love to get your feedback on what we have built so far.
Check out Facebook Lite now at http://lite.facebook.com.
The link does not appear to be working, but then again, I was not invited
