New Features in Spaces & Live Events

The Windows Live Spaces team have officially announced some new features to both the Windows Live Spaces and Live Events services. The new features are:

• Friends of Friends: this feature will show you the friends you have in common with others when you visit their space
• Multiple photo modules: you can now showcase your photos in separate albums on your Space just by adding more than one album from the Customize page
• In Live Events: now your own name and email address appears on the invitation instead of the automatically generated one. Also, public events you organize will show up in your Windows Live profile and the Events homepage now so your friends & contacts will know when and where it's happening

I'm most excited about the "friends of friends" feature, something that is very Facebook-like (which I love). It's always cool to see who everyone knows!
