New Media: Updates on Facebook, XM/Sirius, and GOP

There are two articles today on changes with Facebook. The first in The Washington Post covers complaints on the new design as harder to navigate. The second is from the AP and discusses how the 41/2 year old social networking site will do more to promote applications it thinks are "great" while banning abusive applications.

The Washington Post is also reporting that a merger between XM and Sirius is closer, despite yesterday's report of the second "no" vote. Apparently Deborah Taylor Tate is leaning a little more towards approval. And now the stations have agreed to paying $19.7 million in fines. That should help.

There's also an a piece in Politico on the GOP loosing the new-media war.
