What is facebook lite?

This morning, Mashable’s Ben Parr received a rather strange message when he logged into Facebook.

“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.

Check out Facebook Lite now at http://lite.facebook.com.

So what is facebook lite? Is it a twitter for facebook? Facebook’s resent purchase of FriendFeed

Well for me at least the link just goes to the main facebook page?

I’ve reached out to facebook, and I’ll update here when I know more.

 

 

Update

Hacker News has just released this screen shot of what facebook lite looks like…
 

It looks a lot like twitter with friend feed style comments to me
