Updates on MySpace and MyYearbook Blogs and Social Networks

Updates everywhere where Blogs and Social Networks are concerned :)

Let's cover what's new with MySpace first :)

The MySpace music arena is a bit different in that the Project Playlist music selections widget is no longer allowed on our profiles at MySpace but never to worry :) MySpace has this totally covered complete with tutorial. Just click on the music tab and get set up :)

Your MySpace status and mood have been adjusted and now you can choose which icon goes with which mood, set it yourself :)

Commenting when someone comments you is easier now as you no longer need to visit their page to comment them :)

MySpace is updating their applications all the time and adding new ones as they move along!

The biggest news is the MySpace toolbar!!! Get yours today and read what Tom is saying about what this MySpace toolbar can do for you :)

MySpace also has the feature to create Photo Cubes right from MySpace now :)



Updates at MyYearbook:

You can purchase the Lunch Money currency at MyYearbook :)

No longer need to view profiles to give high fives or view pictures, etc.

Matches are worth $150 now :)

Captchas like at MySpace now to control the Spam problem and voting requests, causes, etc.

With Battles, if you win and own the picture, you get $1000 :)

Blogs and Social Networks Updates!

We wanted to list some of the coolest of updates on the best of Blogs and Social Networks and Internet related sites! Tonights show is going to go into detail on all the updates at our favorite Blogs and Social Networks sites and some other related networking sites :)



Listen into BlogsAndSocialNetworks.info our Updates Show or follow some of the links below:

First is Google :) GMail to be precise! Find out what has been keeping the GMail team busy by following this link:

http://mail.google.com/mail/help/about_whatsnew.html

To access the "what's new" at GMail Labs click the "Labs Tab" in the GMail settings while logged into your GMail account :)

This little blurb is found at the top and I thought it important to print it here as well:

"Gmail Labs: Some crazy experimental stuff."
"Gmail Labs is a testing ground for experimental features that aren't quite ready for primetime. They may change,break or disappear at any time.
If (when) a Labs feature breaks, and you're having trouble loading your inbox, there's an escape hatch. Use http://mail.google.com/mail/?labs=0" Just in case anyone needed it :)

Buttons to Enable or Disable are listed right next to the desired new features (last check there was 42 current lab choices at GMail Labs).



Stevie uncovered the newness at MySpace as she went digging for the cool new features there and we will go into that bag of goodies on the show :)



Utterli.com, a podcasting "shout out" style Blog Social Network, has some great 2009 updates! Utterli has group calling, video processing improvements, an Utterli Desktop Application for Ubuntu.com Amazon Web Services site. Check out more on the show or visit the Utterli Blog.

Trusera.com is a brilliant one of a kind Health Social network that is in need of partners. As far as we see out there on the net, there isn't anything in the way of a competitive site, so investors check this one out :)

YouTube.com has some awesome new updates like the collaborative annotations where you can invite friends to also add speech bubbles, notes, and spotlights to your videos :) Listen into the show for more or follow the link below to the YouTube Blog:
