The MySpace Redesign Is Almost Here - Some Details

MySpace is preparing to roll out its long-awaited redesign, perhaps as early as tomorrow, at least for new users. It’s not going to be pretty. Well, actually, it is quite pretty—I’ve seen screenshots—but that still might not be enough to help stem the diminishing appeal of the social network. MySpace tried to brief us on the new design under embargo, which we don’t do, so we declined the briefing. Nevertheless, we keep getting snippets of information from various sources.

So let me describe it for you. The design will feature the new MySpace logo at the top, and center around discovering and sharing media—music, photos, and videos. When you log in, a big status bar will prompt you to “Share something!” That can be a status message, a link, a photo, or a video.

Facebook to announce site redesign today?

The internet's been murmuring lately about an upcoming event that Facebook will be holding at their headquarters in Palo Alto, California. The invite itself was very vague, with only the word event seriously bolded … prompting many
to speculate that what will be unveiled today will actually be the long-delayed rollout of the Facebook Events event planning section of the sight.

But au contraire, says Techcrunch, who have it on good authority that what Facebook might actually be debuting tomorrow is a radical
redesign of the social networking site. Details of what elements will change in the redesign are still vague, but chat will apparently be
moved to the left side of the screen, with user icons in chat becoming even bigger. Apps will also be moved below profile pictures as icons Yawn… but wait. Apparently, the real crux of the redesign will be to make all of Facebook look a lot more like Facebook 's Places pages.
