Facebook releases Twitbook Lite

Social networking behemoth Facebook today released a slimmed-down version of its service under the name Twitbook Lite. Developers have stripped away the bulk of its third-party content and applications, returning the site to its original, Twitter-based format.

Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg explained. "This is all about getting back to our roots," he told the QA. "When we started Facebook we had a clear vision of creating the ultimate real time micro-blogging network. Look, I have the patent! We were there first, look, look!"

Analysists say the move is the culmination of a gradual evolution for Facebook. According to The Guardian's technology editor James McNetbook, "by stripping away all features not blatantly ripped off from Twitter, Facebook really has returned to the pure Twitter experience it used to be." Response from its user base also appears positive. "It's great to use," said Facebook user Jill Jillington, "the interface is simplified so nothing distracts from its primary purpose of letting people give their opinions on subjects like President Obama and cats".

Added Zuckerberg, "this tool will finally give people the microblogging power to topple the Iranian government and end world poverty."
