Has anyone else gotten this? When I click on the link, it takes me back to the homepage.

UPDATE 1: It looks like @Mashable and @TechCrunch have both posted limited information on Facebook Lite. As @Carl pointed out, TechCrunch has posted a screenshot from a few days ago of what appears to be the stripped-down service.
Facebook hasn’t published any official explanation as of this post.

UPDATE 2: It looks like the lite.facebook.com page has already been indexed.
If you enjoyed this article, then you will definitely enjoy getting ones just like it for free, delivered to your inbox or RSS reader every week or so. I generally doesn't endorse being a follower, but this one a notable exception: You should follow me on Twitter here.

yeah I got it too but the link didn’t seem to do anything.. weird
Yeah I got the exact samething.
Yep. Now the blue box has been removed… glitch in the system.
yeah i just got that, no clue what it is… just took me back to the normal facebook page…
SAME!!!
I got it too. Might just have to wait a few hours and try the link again. I bookmarked it so I could try it later.
Good idea. I’ll check back in the morning. Well…in the morning after I go to bed :)
Got it to. And it took me back to my homepage too.
Very strange.
Perhaps DNS hasn’t propagated for the new URL? Maybe Facebook let this one out of the bag too quickly on accident.
the box just re-appeared for me but the link just keeps taking me back to the homepage
Yea, I just got it on my homepage, typed it into Google to see what it was about, and this was the only relevant article… Anyone know the details?
Yep me too, and your are the only one that show up in google when I search for this facebook lite beta tester.. hehe
I’m pretty excited about that, yeah :)
I typed lite.facebook.com into the address bar and it didn’t help at all.
Yeah, I also recieved it. Go’s nowhere though, and it has now dissapeared from my header
Here’s hoping FB Lite is like the old FB! A quiz-free experience would be wonderful!
I’m with you on that one.
I got that too…and clicked on it against my better judgment….i’m afraid it’s some virus or spyware thing that someone hacked onto the system, since twitter was hacked again yesterday…..sigh, i wish we could get an answer soon from facebook, or i wish i could go back and not click it this time….
I just had the same thought! Hopefully we will both be wrong:D
I hope so….i’m will now worry about this all night till i head to sleep, i knew i shouldn’t click it…but sometimes it’s like touching a hot stove when you are a kid….lol
Got the same message…I’ll try in the AM as well b/c everything looks the same right now:)

thanks for that link, i feel better now that it’s not something malicious to click on the link….looks like that person had the publisher privacy control button too, wonder when i get that, i’ve been waiting on that thing since like forever…
I don’t think you have to worry about it being a malicious link, LK.
Thanks, Carl! I updated the post.
