Hobbits and wizards across Middle Earth are celebrating the debut of Bilbo Baggins 70 years ago. After you’ve enjoyed your pipe-weed, take a look at this week's wizardry.

• Sorting A-Z: We heard ya loud and clear. For the gregarious Flickr-ites, now sort your many groups on Flickr by recent activity or in alphabetical order. And if you missed out on the Talk Like a Pirate Day pillage, check out some of the photos here to get yer limey fix.
• Looking for a new image?: Not only can you access many Flickr images by using Yahoo! Image Search, you can now do it in more than 25 different countries, regions, and languages (see full list here). And we're now using Flickr metadata (tags, comments, titles) to surface photos ("public" ones, of course) for Yahoo! Image Search users. We’ve also introduced the Explorer Bar at the bottom of your image results page so you can see what related images others are searching for. For example, type in “Brad Pitt” and you’ll see that others are looking for photos of Angelina Jolie, Tom Cruise, Orlando Bloom, etc. (only available for entertainment and location-related photos for now, but more to come).
• Idling with purpose: No more excuses for idle time checking out friends’ profiles when you should be looking for a job! Now do both (without the guilt). Download the Yahoo! HotJobs application for Facebook here and start searching for jobs, vote someone as the “most likely to quit the corporate world and move to Tibet to become a monk,” see where your friends have worked, and list out your top 3 fave companies. Or just refer your friends!
• Viva los Hispanos!: If you haven’t already heard, it’s Hispanic Heritage Month and Yahoo! Telemundo has unveiled two mini-sites to celebrate the successes and contributions of Hispanics across the U.S. Mosaico Hispano is a tribute site to those living the American dream, featuring video profiles and stories of remarkable individuals. Battle of the Bands will showcase the musical talents of 10 new U.S. Hispanic bands, featuring videos, interviews and an opportunity for you to vote for your favorite. Check them out, the sites go down after Oct. 31.
• The new Fall line: Need a refreshed look for the new season? My Yahoo! has a new background theme to add some autumn-ous spirit to your page. Check it out here or try one of the other seasonal themes on for size.
• Yummy preschooler: A quick shout out to del.icio.us for turning four this week! Cheers to being able to feed yourself, brush your teeth and combing your hair all on your own!
