Facebook is introducing a text-based version accessible by those who don’t own smart phones or subscribe to mobile data plans.

Facebook described the service is a lightweight version of m.facebook.com that omits data intensive applications, and said the service will launch within weeks. TechCrunch says the name comes from Facebook s description of the system as having zero-rated pages, a likely reference to its not-so-taxing data rate. Read more at TechCrunch.
