Facebook Zero for Mobile Web Soon
Techtree News Staff, Feb 17, 2010 1629 hrs ISTStripped down and text-only version of Facebook mobile site
Love Facebook but cannot access it frequently from your phone due to low bandwidth? Don't worry as help is on its way.
Facebook has revealed plans for launching a size-zero text-only mobile site version of m.facebook.com dubbed as Zero. Aimed at mobile Internet users with low bandwidth connection, Facebook Zero would be a completely stripped down version of Facebook Mobile site. This site would be rolled out 'in coming weeks'. After recent homepage redesign, this is yet another service re-gig attempt by Facebook.
Facebook Zero is the text-only version of Facebook's mobile site aimed at the low-bandwidth connection bearing users. Yet another mobile version after the much hyped Facebook Lite version. However, the Facebook Zero would be a lighter version and won't include photos that are data intensive.
This version is set up in order to keep more people connected and offer updates faster by consuming low bandwidth. This will attract more users to join in and keep the existing users connected to the site almost forever. Hence, you'll get to see only text and no photos of graphics would be shown in Zero version of the website.
At this moment, the page zero.facebook.com isn't live. When accessed, that page leads to m.facebook.com with a notice - your carrier doesn't support the service yet. Once the operators agree for the interface, Facebook Zero would be available worldwide in a month or two, we hope.
