Google+ trends: Google maps the Great Barrier Reef, Myspace

Google has announced that it is adding underwater panoramic images of the Great Barrier Reef to Google Maps. The images, captured in partnership with the Catlin Seaview Survey, enable Google Maps users to observe the area's marine life and the underwater world it inhabits from the comfort of their desk. More information about the project can be found on Google's official blog at goo.gl/GCXPD.

For the second day in a row Myspace is attracting attention after the social networking site gave a sneak peek at its new design on September 24. The redesign hints at heavy Facebook and Twitter integration and a slick new design with a strong emphasis on music. A video showcasing the redesign can be found at vimeo.com/50071857.
