Have you been invited to Google+? Well, I’ve already been invited and I think it’s awesome but Facebook gonna do something about this. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has today announced that Facebook is about to launch something awesome next week, Reuter reports.

Chief Executive and founder Mark Zuckerberg told reporters in a visit to Facebook’s Seattle office on Wednesday that the company planned to “launch something awesome” next week.

He said the project had been developed at the 40-person Seattle office, Facebook’s only major engineering center outside of its Palo Alto, California headquarters.

Reuters suggests that it may be the much-much-waited Facebook app for iPad. It could be also the photo-sharing app, something like Instagram or PicPlz. Reuters asked Facebook to comment but they prefered to keep this things private. May be a dislike button?

Thoughts?

Google is doing great efforts to satisfy its users and here’s something it’s doing right now. Google is officially pushing new GMail interface. Thanks to Google’s users’ feedback, they could launch a new interface with two new themes to try out as a sort of sneak peek at what we’re up to.

Here’s what one of the new themes currently looks like:


And in conversation view:

 

Starting today, you’ll see the “Preview” and “Preview (Dense)” themes in the Themes tab in Gmail Settings. Why two themes? Our new interface will eventually expand dynamically to accommodate different screen sizes and user preferences, but until then you can pick the information density that you prefer.

To try it now, simply go to Gmail Settings, click on the Themes tab and select “Preview” or “Preview (Dense)” as your theme to try this yourself then tell us what do you think?
