It has been slightly more than a month since the launch of Facebook Lite, a stripped down version of Facebook to serve areas where broadband connection speed is slow. But is Lite working for Facebook? Perhaps a simple study of Facebook's growth statistics can help us with the answer.

But can we credit this success to Facebook Lite? For the months of June, July and August, Facebook's ...
Facebook Suffering From SLOW growth. Lite To Rescue?

byWillis WeeinUncategorized
According to Compete, Facebook's number of unique visits in the past 3 months has very much remained at the same level. Should the Facebook team be worrying?

byWillis WeeinUncategorized
What an exciting day for the Facebook team! Besides the introduction of a new @ tagging feature on its status updates, it has also officially launched the highly anticipated Facebook Lite. Like how we understood it to be, Facebook Lite is a stripped down version of Facebook. It preserved only its core features, including status updates (duh!), access to profiles stalking and advertisements.
