Facebook Lite is the newest update for the company, which is always making changes based on what their users want. Facebook has continued to grow its network and keep a loyal base by adapting changes that fit the everchanging desires of the online community. And aside from that new contract debacle, they’re nearly always right.
Right now, especially with competition from Twitter, Facebook knows that what the people want is a streamlined minimalist sharing experience with friends. Here’s a look at the updates that keep Facebook on the cutting edge, from Facebook Lite to vanity URLs.
