New version boosts launch time by 30 per cent
Twitter launched a less data-intensive version of its service for the emerging markets on Thursday where internet connections can be patchy, in a bid to tap into a new user base as the social media firm struggles for growth.
The service is called Twitter Lite and can only be accessed via a mobile web browser like Google Chrome and takes up less than 1 megabyte on your device. The company said it optimised it for speed to give it a 30 per cent faster launch time than the standard app and quicker navigation.
