MySpace Applications Move Out of Beta

MySpace finally dumped the clutch and pinned the throttle open in the race to keep up with Facebook on Thursday, pushing its MySpace Application Gallery out of beta and into widespread public availability, where Facebook Apps have been since last year. Users now have access to over 1,000 applications, from quizzes and polls to video players and games.

The Application Gallery rollout has moved fairly quickly: MySpace opened the platform to developers on February 5, giving them a little more than a month to create test applications before opening a beta version of the Application Gallery on March 13, and now moving out of beta a month and a half later.

“MySpace was the original open platform, and the MySpace Application Gallery is the evolution of that vision, taking MySpace users around the world to the next level and empowering them to take control of their online presence in new and exciting ways,” said Chris DeWolfe, CEO and co-founder of MySpace, in a statement.

Users can immediately access the existing stable of applications by visiting the Application Gallery free of charge.

Bissell CleanView XR price drops even lower for Black Friday deal

The Bissel CleanView XR tackles a dirty floor.

Thanksgiving might be behind us but you're totally pardoned if you made a mess. You still have to clean it up, but you're pardoned for making it. Luckily this Black Friday vacuum deal just landed and it's a good one — the Bissell CleanView XR has dropped its price and it is 42% off. Originally $200, you can get it today for $115. It's really a special Black Friday deal that you very well might want to pick up now if your old vacuum isn't sucking things up with the same gusto it used to this Thanksgiving day. Of course, there are robot vacuum Black Friday deals and Dyson Black Friday deals that this offering from Bissell has to compete with, but we still think it's worth your time to look at. To see it yourself, tap the button below, or keep reading to get our take on the offer.

Why you should buy the Bissell CleanView XR
Bissell's CleanView XR is, in many ways, a very typical stick vacuum of the modern era. And, with a $115 price tag, that's actually a strength because the price is much lower. It has the standard stick with the tangle-free brushroll, has no cord, uses LED lights near the floor surface to help you detect dirt and dust, has alternate heads for cleaning cars and corners, and has an easy-dump tank. If you've bought a vacuum in the past couple of years, you're probably already accustomed to these features and love them, meaning this vacuum should easily fit in with the life that you already live. Ultimately, we find it amazing how average this vacuum cleaner is at this price. There's even an allergen filter for your pet's hair to keep everyone in your home a little less sneezy. It's just not the kind of package you expect for $100.

This Black Friday vacuum deal gets Bissell's Little Green Carpet Cleaner down to a whopping 34% off of its regular price on Amazon.

To get the Little Green now, while this excellent deal is still around, add it to your cart now -- because this sale is happening only on Black Friday.

Why you should buy the Little Green carpet cleaner
The Little Green carpet cleaner is a lot of things, but first and foremost, it is a scrubbing tool that can be used to tackle wet, nasty messes in your home. It has two chambers on opposite sides of its top. One is for cleaning liquids and water, and the other is for waste liquid that the machine picks up. While there are multiple attachments, a large portion of your time will likely be spent with the scrubbing bristles type head, rubbing and blasting chemical formula at dog accidents, and (on days like today) messy food spills.
