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.
