Google's popular $35 HDMI dongle Chromecast has just seen its largest expansion yet, ten new applications.
Until now, the Chromecast only supported Netflix, HBO Go, Pandora, YouTube, Hulu Plus and Google Play Movies, TV and Music.

Just in time for the holidays, 10 new apps have been added to the Chromecast family. Beginning today you can enjoy action sports, news, music videos, and more with the addition of VEVO, Red Bull.TV, Songza, PostTV, Viki, Revision 3 and BeyondPod.
And for those many holiday gatherings, you can also cast your personal media straight to your TV using Plex, Avia, or RealPlayer Cloud apps. There's no need to huddle around small screens when you can share your own photos and videos using your phone, tablet, or laptop.

Plex is likely the biggest addition of the bunch, as Chromecast fans have been clamoring for a way to stream their local content better.
