Facebook Lite: Website strips off to lure in another billion users

I'm making good progress with my rehab. I've whittled my friends list down from several hundred to just 26, I look at FB about twice a day and I don't post anything. My timeline has been wiped out of all comments and status. I'm almost there. There are just a few things that are keeping me involved, but I've got rid of all the drivel, viral hoax scare stories and pathetic attention seeking statuses that express a hint of a problem to invite people to ask for more information.

The worst thing about Facebook for me is that it shows up a lot of the stupidity that I'd rather just be unaware of.

FINALLY!!!!!

"bandwidth-challenged parts of the world"

...they take care of rural Sussex.

Thanks Zuckerberg, but no thanks...

OK, I'm not third world, but my £15 PAYG landfill android phone works very nicely without facebook. Thanks for thinking of me though...

Set the hook

It is very simple. You set the hook first... then you reel them in. First you create a need. Just a little bait or chum the waters. As more sniff around you are establishing a market...One that will grow hungrier... then sell the to market and those that would sell to it. Next thing you know.. there is a bigger economy to work with and cash in on - on many levels.

Common sense.
