Facebook Lite
Friday, September 11, 2009As expected, Facebook is slimming down. The new "Lite" version of Facebook is available for users in the United States and India, according to TechCrunch.
The new version of the site appears to be much cleaner and simpler. It appears, at a quick glance, to be a better site for Facebook newbies or for anyone who finds the current site overwhelming or noisy. It also pushes the old-school Facebook apps off a cliff, which is just as well for the newest Facebook-connected services. Try it at lite.facebook.com. The major visual change in Facebook Lite, compared Facebook "Classic," is simply that most of the the navigation and info page that was on the left of the page is now gone. The user is not distracted by the mostly superfluous details that resided there. The input box is also gone, replaced by buttons (Write, Post Photos, Post Video) that pop down the actual input forms only when needed.
The new Lite version of Facebook is cleaner and faster.

Facebook "Classic" has a lot of navigational elements and more data that make the site cluttlered, in comparison.
(Credit: Screenshot by Rafe Needleman/CNET)Other tweaks that diehards might notice: the "Friends" tab in the top navigation of Facebook Classic is missing in Facebook Lite, replaced by a new "Events" link that opens up a page of invitations.
All pages on the site seem to be affected. They are simpler, easier to read, and faster. They load faster, partly due to what appears to be HTML optimization at Facebook. My profile page in Facebook Lite weighed in at 11K, compared to 44K in the Classic version. However, the smaller pages may also come courtesy of a dramatically decreased advertising load, which I doubt we can count on continuing, once Facebook Lite enters the mainstream.
I like the Lite site more than the old Facebook and am moving over to it now. Nice job, Facebook.
iPhone app organization comes to iTunes 9
The single best features in the brand-new iTunes 9 (released yesterday) is iPhone Home screen organization. I’ve been asking for this feature almost since the App Store was announced and it’s a great addition to Apple’s venerable media playing software.
It works like this: connect your iPhone or iPod touch to your computer via USB, then select your device in the left pane then the new “Applications” tab (pictured) in the right pane. From here you can simply drag apps around from virtual screen to screen. You can even add and delete screens as needed — brilliant!
Another nice feature introduced in iTunes 9 and iPhone OS 3.1 is App categories (pictured above left). This allows you to view and organize apps according to a category. This is also useful for organizing your iPhone pages by category, (productivity, music, games, etc.). When you are finished iTunes automatically syncs your new screens with your iPhone or iPod touch.
There’s still no solution for OTA media or app syncing, so you’re still relegated to using USB, but hopefully more OTA syncing will come in the future.
