Earlier this year, Bebo began working on a strategy for its triumphant return, which may or may not be successful. In attempting to modernize Bebo released its first app, Blab, which was quickly undercut by Vine messaging. Now LiveJournal, another network from the earlier days of social networking, is planning a relaunch, with an app is in the works.
