MySpace users should race to Gears

If you’re a regular visitor to MySpace
and you haven’t already installed Gears, you
might as well go ahead and do so before the site starts nagging you
to get it. MySpace has used Gears for a while to provide localised
message stores, but has only pushed the option to users with more
than 5,000 messages stashed away. At today’s Google Developer Conference in
Sydney, MySpace revealed that it will shortly lower that threshold,
prompting anyone with more than 2,000 messages. Shifting to Gears
enhances your ability to sort and manage messages, which sounds like
something anyone with 2,000 messages could use. Gears is supported on
Windows, Mac and Linux (principally via Firefox, including 3; IE is fine, Safari is, at this moment, not).
