So I was browsing Facebook when this message appeared above my feeds:
It immediately piqued my interest. Facebook lite? Does this have anything to do with Facebook acquiring Friendfeed today? My mind was a-flurry with thoughts about what this "lite" version of Facebook could look like. As my mouse pointer approached the link, my mind wandered to the Amazon redesign case study that was discussed in the recent UX meetup. How was I segmented to be included in this select group of people who get to test this beta version? Is it a select group of people? Do they have analytics in place to measure my engagement with the lite version, and if so, will they be using that to finalize their design?
So many thoughts flying through my head until... *click*
Nothing happened.
*click*
Still nothing happened.
Wait, is this a trick? Are they just doing this to test and see how many people would click on the link, hence gauging audience interest in such a feature? Or does "plenty of kinks" = page load fail?
Oh well. The thoughts were fun while they lasted.
