Changes to hi5 Profile for OpenSocial Apps

As you have probably noticed, we are introducing an entirely redesigned user interface for hi5.com. This new release was announced for public beta on October 14, and we have been rolling it out to users worldwide since.
 
One of the most requested changes from our users was an easier and faster browsing experience.  We found that the profile "view" we previously supported, which allowed multiple applications to run from profile pages, was having an adverse effect on performance.  So, in this new release, we have replaced the profile view with static images, descriptions, and links to the full "canvas" views of the applications.
 
We have already seen this change has had a positive impact on site usability and performance.  We also believe it will benefit our application partners as well.  Previously, users could only have a maximum of 4 applications running on their profiles, which would occasionally compete with each other.  Now, users can list as many applications in their profile module as they choose, in a much cleaner, more browse-able fashion.

We expect to be fully deployed with the new release this week.
