MySpace News is a news aggregation service that lets MySpace members vote on stories on a scale of 1-5 ( hate it-love it ). The more positive votes the story gets, the more it moves up. There are numerous categories and topics that you can browse through and you can request more to be added as well.

As of now, I don’t see any way for MySpace members to get to MySpace News directly from their account and I could vote on stories without being signed into anything. In the FAQ’s it says that anyone can view the stories but only MySpace members can vote. Possibly the site hasn’t officially launched yet, I’m not sure. MySpace is all about creating your own space so if they add more customization for members, like the ability to create their own news site to share with friends or the ability to post favorite stories to your page, they may have a winner here. Here’s my screencast tour of MySpace News:

Buzzillions is a product review site that helps you find customer reviews based on qualities that are important to you. While searching for a product you can choose what features you want, what dislikes you won’t stand for, and you can compare brands by customers most used keywords. Reviewers can also submit photos to show off the product that they’re reviewing. Here’s my screencast tour of Buzzillions:
