facebook One of the biggest questions I seem to getting recently is “how do I configure Facebook, so that I don’t have to deal with anything about farms, mafia, or any other thing that I don’t use and don’t care about”.  Since my use of Facebook is to communicate with people and not for the games, I can completely understand those who would like to use a “Simple” version of Facebook. 

     Since the end of 2009, Facebook has a “lite” version which they advertise as the version for those still on dial-up or slow internet connections.  However, the “lite” version can be used by anyone, no matter what your internet speed is.  What you get is Facebook without the extra bloat (Bloat to me because I don’t care for the games and extras) that the full version gives you. 

     If you visit Facebook at (LINK) http://lite.facebook.com/ (http://lite NULL.facebook NULL.com/) you will see a cleaner easier to navigate Facebook. Just keep in mind that if you are a Farmville or Mafia Wars or any of the other games and add’-on’s for Facebook, then the lite version isnt for you since you will lose access to those features. 

     You can even move your account to open directly to the lite version or to prompt you as to which version you which to use (for those who wish to jump back and forth), by visiting (LINK) http://lite.facebook.com/settings/defaultsite/ (http://lite NULL.facebook NULL.com/settings/defaultsite/) once you are signed into your Facebook account, and selecting the option that best meets your needs.

You will see a big difference in the amount of space used on your screen when comparing the 2 versions. See for yourself if lite Facebook will work for you.  Lite Facebook may actually make Facebook enjoyable to those not raising cows, or trying to kill someone (Pun Intended here!).
