The centre of everyone’s universe, Facebook is set to make a few more changes to its design, even though their tech people have only just finished re-jigging things. These are set to be alterations to their homepage, as well making their search function more important.

However there is no pleasing the general public, as people’s lives were turned upside down, when previous alteration about notifications and the general layout of things came into place. These tweaks have come from screen shots seen on a French technology blog PCinpact.com. However Facebook has not confirmed whether the pages shown by PCinpact are genuine.

Would you like some interesting facts about Facebook? Well you’ll get them anyway; more than 350 million active users, 50% of our active users log on to Facebook in any given day, more than 35 million users update their status each day, more than 55 million status updates posted each day, more than 2.5 billion photos uploaded to the site each month and pages have created more than 5.3 billion fans!

Were you one of the lucky 4,700 professional attended this years PSI show in Gay Paris? (I wasn’t.)

A PSI spokesperson said: “The high caliber of visitors was remarked upon by most of the exhibitors. The selective policy of the PSI Paris trade show was first decided on several years ago, and now guarantees that the event is a success.”

There were 187 exhibitors at the show, with more than 370 brands represented. Also announce at the show were the PSI Awards, honoring the most innovative products in the fields of “creation, trend, design, leisure and gastronomy, office and sustainable development.”

The show was a great opportunity for companies involved in the promotional products industry to unite, exchange ideas and boost their business. If you missed out, then there’s always next year. Exhibitors and delegates will be back in Paris early in 2010, as PSI has changed the dates for next year’s show to February 2-4. Hopefully I might even get to make an appearance, keeping an eye out for the latest and greatest promotional products.

Mustmeet.com is a recently launched online business-to-business networking site, designed with the events industry in mind. They have estimated that there are 22 million business trade exhibitions, events and conferences word wide – so there is plenty of potential out there.

I must admit I think this is a great idea, as not everyone has the time or the confidence to attend exhibitions. The founder Leon Levy says; “Many people don’t like networking and are uncomfortable striking up conversations with strangers. The events industry was crying out for an online tool that simplifies and manages this online networking for the events industry.”

The site operates like a grown up Facebook with members setting up profiles, with the idea of viewing the profiles of delegates and exhibitors, as well as pre-book meetings at the venues.
