Facebook Lite.

Recently some information surfaced regarding a "secret" project Facebook was working on entitled Facebook Lite. Apparently, someone at Facebook made a mistake of sending out e-mails to beta testers with links to the new platform. Within minute, the Facebook Lite platform link was removed.

The Facebook Lite platform is a scaled down version of Facebook and looks quite similar to Twitter. Facebook Lite contains a lot of features from Facebook, and was designed for faster loading times on slower computers. Once the platform is officially released, we expect to see people with limited computer skills using this more than the average user. Many people suggest Facebook has tried to "copy" the Twitter concept with the Facebook Lite platform. This in fact may be true since Facebook did try to purchase Twitter a while back. Time will tell how popular this "new" platform becomes, and how well it works for social media marketing.
