A long time ago in a theater far, far away, we were all 30 years younger and just being introduced to droids, wookies, Jedis, fabulous royal hairstyles, and the original evil Empire. May the force be with you as you catch up on our latest adventures.

• Home, home on the range: Yahoo! Real Estate just unveiled an enhanced Home Values section to help you research the perfect home, set the right asking price, or get nosey with your neighbors. With mash-ups from Zillow, eppraisal.com and Reply.com, you can now access multiple valuation estimates, an expanded library of articles and guides from home owning and selling to tax assessments, and mapping tools that pinpoint homes of similar value around the ‘hood. While you’re there, see how your pad compares with the Brady Bunch and Archie Bunker’s house!
• Upcoming at your beck and call: Your Upcoming watchlist now has a home on your mobile phone. You can now see your upcoming events and even your friend’s weekend plans from the road. For you spontaneous types, search for a local event on the fly. Enter “m.upcoming.yahoo.com” on your mobile phone to check it out. More here.
• MyBlogLog gets taggy: MyBlogLog just launched a feature that’s more fun than calling people names. You can now tag MyBlogLog users and their blogs with descriptive tags. Find a spammy blog? Just tag it with “Schmoe” (short for Social Media Optimizer, of course) and the MyBlogLog team will tidy up. They’ll also let you import your Del.icio.us and Technorati tags to get started. More here.

MyBlogLog - tag : cool

-Photo jocking for money (photo mashup for themes, ex: passion)
n photo hunting for hobby (by camera types, photo lighting or type, geography, etc.,)

-One frame, many views.
At http://entertainment.tv.yahoo.com/
Have a single frame with slide-out tabs around it which shows data or all the clicks happen within the frame. Show videos, movie clips, songs with lyrics, news, etc., Their should be ‘more’ link which will open the relevent channel like tv or movies.
Or
If i enter ‘lose yourself’ then based on the tab i choose i get to see/play one relevent information about this video from 8 miles movie with more link to the relevent channel.
*scratches the whole thing* n thinks should y! have this page?

-explorer tag. 360 users n their y! directory tags. If a blog explorer where to visit a food explorer section it would show at y! directory. Not to mention, more your explore n spend time at y! directory you get a bigger explorer tag at your 360 page.

Also
Social networking for Packaged Media Data.
Where people weave best online mashup of media data which gets voted, reviewed and shared.
Ex: elvis song - jail house rock.
One user adds a nice video, lyrics, elvis site in his data package.
Another adds mp3 torrent download, radio station source, photos in his data package.

People can also place requests for data packages.

Yahoo! has to create a cool UI, design and some amazing functions n features for this to work.

We could latter Y!pipe these PMD’s.
