A month ago we reported that Facebook was beta testing a 'lite' version of its popular social networking site. http://lite.facebook.com has just become available to U.S. users. The lite version offers users a "faster, simpler version of Facebook." Judging from what we have seen so far, Facebook Lite turns Facebook into a very Twitter-like experience. Facebook Lite has comment threading, more features than Twitter and no word count limits. But the influence is plain to see. - Matthew Harman
