Micro-blogging darling Twitter and the charming aggregation site FriendFeed are missing one huge thing that most users don't mind overlooking: profiles. While, it really isn't a big deal profiles can be helpful when determining whether or not to add someone as a friend. So if you've been missing those features, here's a way to add a profile to FriendFeed and extend your Twitter profile.

Facebook's new profile design, which we first wrote about in February is now live for developers. Any developer can visit http://www.new.facebook.com/profile.php to access the developer sandbox and play around with the new design, which aims to unclutter the site by breaking the profile into five distinct areas. Will the new profile provide a better user experience? Or will it be met with resistance?

One of the big social news stories this evening was Facebook's announcement that it is actively working on a redesign to user profiles that would break the profile page down into three, main tabbed components. A "Wall" tab that would mash up the current mini-feed and message wall, an "About" tab that includes bio information, and a "Photos" tab, which is pretty self explanatory. Notably absent from the mix is a prominent place for applications.
