If you ever experienced a slower than usual loading time on your Facebook page when all you wanted to do was post an update status, you're not alone. We've all experienced this problem, and now there's a fix.

Today Facebook launched their much requested "Lite" version of the social netowrking site, that strips away unnecessary items and only shows your new stories up front.

From the main page you can post a photo, video, or status update, see a short list of notifications. Through the lite interface you also have access to your profile, events, and your inbox. There's no chat, but that definitely cuts down on the page load times.

You can check out Facebook lite by going to lite.facebook.com.
