  Although the feature itself is not new, the new design does seem to be highly inspired by Facebook's.

    actually, if you go to this video from a year ago, you can see that this year's Facebook redesign was rather reminiscent of the old Google profiles: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYf5iSA6t6g&feature=player_detailpage#t=25s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYf5iSA6t6g&feature=playe...

      They all seem to be reminiscent of MySpace, er I mean Hi5, or maybe I mean Friendster. Point being, a "profile" page has a standard design, the same way a e-commerce catalog page has a general layout that nearly every shopping cart employs.

        yeah, I went for the snark, but I think your point is much closer to the truth.
