MySpace has been renovating their site over the past 6 months and you’ll begin seeing the rollout today. There’s new navigation tools, profile editor and search capability - as well as some changes to the MySpace TV player. Look for a brand new streamlined homepage on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Facebook has tied MySpace with 115MM monthly users worldwide. MySpace is still twice as popular here in the U.S. though, and right now, that’s where the ad revenues are. U.K. and European users aren’t worth as much…
Tomorrow is download day! Mozilla wants to make Firefox 3 the most downloaded piece of first-day software - and put it in the Guinness Book of World Records. Right now the current record holder is… okay, well there isn’t one. You can pledge to download it at their website.
