Facebook  has rolled out a redesign of its Events Pages. The company has yet to publicly announce the new design, but the alterations are drastic enough that any user who visits an Event Page would immediately notice the changes.

The new Facebook Event Pages now show attendee information on the left-hand side of the page, position the event RSVP options as buttons in the upper right-hand corner, include the standard Facebook Publisher and make the Event Page feed appear more prominent (as seen above). Essentially, the Event Pages are styled to more closely mirror the design of profiles and other Pages.

The makeover doesn’t appear to include any additional functionality, but the redesign was a much needed facelift to the aged look of the previous Event Pages. We imagine that the motivation for the new design was simply to standardize the Facebook look across the site.

A small search engine called Rankdex was already exploring a similar strategy. Page and Brin originally nicknamed their new search engine "BackRub", because the system checked backlinks to estimate the importance of a site. Eventually, they changed the name to Google, originating from a misspelling of the word "googol", the number one followed by one hundred zeros, which was meant to signify the amount of information the search engine was to handle.

Originally, Google ran under the Stanford University website, with the domain google.stanford.edu. The domain google.com was registered on September 15, 1997, and the company was incorporated on September 4, 1998, at a friend's garage in Menlo Park, California. [Via: Wikipedia]

faculty and staff known as the "Facebook." Once at college, Zuckerberg's Facebook started off as just a "Harvard-thing," until Zuckerberg then decided to spread Facebook to other schools and enlisted the help of roommate Dustin Moskovitz. They first spread it to Stanford, Dartmouth, Columbia, New York University, Cornell, Brown and Yale, and then to other schools with social contacts with Harvard.
