Facebook this week rolled out Lite, a stripped down version of its site largely aimed at users with slower connections--i.e. developing nations.

At present, Facebook Lite is only available in India and the U.S. (not a developing nation, to be sure, though we are number 28 in the list of worldwide Internet speeds), but Facebook is certainly looking toward a worldwide rollout.

The functionality of the site is more basic that it's full-featured counterpart, though users can still do plenty with the stripped down version, including commenting, accepting friend requests, looking at photos, updating statuses, and writing on walls.

Facebook's own numbers, roughly 70-percent of its users are located outside of the U.S. Originally posted to AppScout.
