MySpace Launches New Application Gallery

MySpace has launched a new applications gallery. The new gallery is stocked with over 1,000 new applications that are made specifically for MySpace users to post in their profiles.

Steve Pearman, MySpace vice president of product strategy, said at the O’Reilly Web 2.0 Expo here that the content of the gallery was driven by user requests for rich applications that provide an engaging experience and include strong privacy protections and insulation from spam.

“What’s been launched is a direct reflection of these desires,” he said. “That whole project has been driven by user input on what they want out of our apps. You have to check your ego at the door. It is not about what we want. It is about what the community needs.”

If you have a MySpace account, you can jump right over to the new Apps Gallery, and start adding applications instantly.

Expect the Gallery to grow a lot in coming months, as MySpace pushes the new service.
