We launched several new features over the last few days. Here's a recap.

Status & Mood History. Now when you update your status, your old posts won't be wiped out. Just click "view more" next to anyone's status post and you'll see their old posts. Click "View all" at the bottom of the status & mood module on home to see everyone's past updates. (You can also access status & mood history from the Friends drop down menu.) We started recording them about 2 weeks ago. You can delete any post you made by clicking the x to the right of your post on the "view all" page. To narrow down what you want to see on that page, you can type in a friend's name, choose to see only your top friends, or filter the list by friend category. (To make a friend category go to the friends page and click the "my category" tab.) Remember you can also update your status via mobile phone. To do that, just click "my account" and "mobile" and then click "enable alerts". Once activated, just text your status to the MySpace short code 69772. Note: You do have to activate your phone to use this feature, but you do NOT have to receive text alerts to be able to update your status, so just click enable alerts and then uncheck the alerts if you dont want to receive them. (I know its counterintuitive, we're fixing it!) Click here to Enable my phone now.

Mail multiple Recipients. For about a week now, you've been able to send MySpace messages to more than one user. Right now the limit is 20 people per message. This works more like email, where you can click 'compose' and type in all the names of the people you want to receive the message. We also have a corresponding "reply all" feature when you are engaged in a message with multiple people and once you click reply all, you can click up into the "To" field and add another person.

New Mobile Site. Our mobile site - m.myspace.com - got a complete redesign. We've made it simpler & faster to use. You can choose custom moods when you update your status, pick a smiley, and it's easier to create your unique email address for mobile picture uploading. Search is better, friend updates, are better and it's easier to comment and message people. Try it out! We'll keep improving the usability of this over the next few weeks. For my blog post on mobile photo uploads, go here.

Music Playlisting. Each user now has a public music playlist page.  Before this week, you could only share the 10 song playlist on your profile. Now you can share all the playlists you make on your playlist page. Just look for the "playlists" link on a profile next to the View more: Pics Videos section. Specific playlists can be private if you want, but unless you're listening to some really cheesy music, there's no reason not to make them public. Make sure to click "edit" on any private playlist and make it public so your friends can see what good taste you have. Use the search at the top to find more songs and build playlists. You can also build playlists from the music search page (just use the search up in the header). Our music search page got an entirely new revamp that lets you preview songs right from the search results. Check out my playlist page here.

Profile 2.0. We've added over 90 new themes choices for profile 2.0. More are on the way. There is now a 3 column layout option. The apps bug is fixed. Previewing your profile now shows the actual way your profile looks and mousing over each section lets you change it. Profile 2.0 also now has an Activities module which lets you display your friend updates on your page. When a friend comes to your 2.0 profile page, he'll be able to see all the things you've done on MySpace recently (uploading photos, videos, etc.) Remember ths is optional, and, as always, you can control what information is published out to your friends via the friend updates preferences page. To update to Profile 2.0, click here.

Full Name. Finding your friends on MySpace can be hard when they change their display name all the time. When you're using "compose" on mail, or trying to filter your status & mood history by a specific user, and you start typing in "John" what happens if John changed his display name to "SuperMan 2.0". Because of this confusion, we've added the "show full name" feature. This has been out for several months, but its starting to show up all around the site. Showing your full name makes it easy for your friends to find and search for you, but allows you to change your display name when you feel like it. Check me out in your friends list, or to the left on this blog post -- you can see how it says "Tom" above my picture and "Tom Anderson" below my picture. I can change my display name to "Tommyboy" but my real name will still be there so people won't have trouble finding me in MySpace features that require you to know your friends name. To make your profile show full name, click here and check the appropriate box.

Less Steps, Easier to Use. We've been systematically changing the way features work around the site. You can now comment somebody in one step, rather than going to a new page, previewing, posting, getting a post confirmation page, then a clicking back to the object you posted on. We've added this to blogs and photos and video comments. It's coming for profiles. Inviting people to events got easier several weeks ago. Posting bulletins got easier today. Adding friends and sending messages is getting streamlined as well. Less steps means it's faster for you and easier to communicate. Plus you see less advertisements. Yay :-)

Printing everywhere. You've probably noticed the print commands we've added around the site. Small change, but really fun. It's nice to print your comments as a scrapbook, print your photos, or even make stuff out of your MySpace photos like MySpace Photo Cube, which lets you print your top friends photos so you can fold it into a photo cube. You can even print this blog!
