Facebook have now launched a stripped-down version of there website – Facebook Lite

Having looked at this my self, it is very nice to see Facebook having released this especaly for people who may have slower Internet connections (or even those who are still on Dial-Up)

One of the biggest parts you will notice is that it will not have the Facebook Application Bar at the bottom of the page and will not have the IM / Chat function.

This also dose strips down allot of unnecessary functions that people may not use allot.

The Lite Version is purley from what it seems a part where you can view your notifications, search and view your friends and view your profile, it dose not include any of the applications.

I think this is a great idea for Facebook to FINALY bring out, which at first was due to come out in August.

Facebook also runs ALOT faster under the lite mode as it dose not have the chat function.

It will remain to be seen if many people will switch to using the lite version, personally I do like the current version and do not feel that I will use the lite version that much.
