Facebook lite
Aug 21st
Facebook started its new simplified version’s beta test today, I got a message on the top of the profile page saying:
“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”

The start page consists only of the news stories (no application things wow!!). The right nav bar has been cut real intelligently. App requests, highlights and connect with friend’s columns are gone. People you may know and sponsors (obviously) remain. Top nav bar has the Home and name buttons missing. The page has no unnecessary frills, probably to try catch up with the growing twitter trends. No curvy corners for the lite version, the page loads and renders really fast. Unlike twitter the main page after login doesn’t allow you to write updates, you have to got to the profile page to write. (They must seriously add this missing feature). The main page screenshot with some privacy edits looks like this:

@realin [Digimantra Blog] started it by posting his Pasta pics on twitter. I was forced to post my biriyani pics by @namanb [NamanB Blog]. Naman had an idea to start the #slurpysunday tag and post yummy food pictures. This is how it works:
You post your delicious celebration sunday meal at twitter. eg: #slurpysunday http://twitpic.com/809g3
Idea derived from #Followfriday, this is how follow friday works [Mashable].
Twitpocalypse floater
Jun 14th
One internet floater that made everyone wondered how the Twitterverse will change when the number of Tweets on Twitter approach the 2,147,483,647 limit. Twitpocalypse did occur on 2009-06-12 23:52:04 GMT. The Twitterverse is still on high rev, nothing ‘malfunctioned’ superficially. But Twitterrific 2.0.1 for the iPhone did experience some problems due to the Twitpocalypse. Applications like Destroy Twitter were creating tweets with negative IDs. The iPhone App Tweetie experienced problems. Other applications like Beak and TweetDeck were effected to some extent.
