		<description><![CDATA[ The online mortgage industry is chock full of online platforms that match buyers and lenders. Although lending has slowed and credit is tight, sites like LendingTree, Bankrate, SmartHippo and other sites still provide a valuable marketplace for finding mortgages for those who still qualify. LendingTree, which was spun off from parent company IAC in 2007, is overhauling its site to offer more than just mortgages; the site is also trying to be a personal finance guide for consumers, sort of along the lines of what Mint.com does, but targeted towards real estate. The new site is adding a bunch of new tools to help potential buyers improve and monitor their financial health. The site&#8217;s MoneyRight feature helps you create a budget, offers tips on how to reduce expenses, calculates your financial health and categorizes your spending. MyCredit will monitor your credit reports and alert you when your score changes. Ask the Tree is a personal finance question and answer tool where...

		<description><![CDATA[ What happens in London when a group of American blogger types heads over to geek out ? They get drunk, put on wigs and get friendly with the locals, apparently. Former Guardian columnist Paul Carr ( @paulcarr ) sends us links to a disturbing group of photographs, likely taken about five minutes apart. What was Scoble, the poster boy for RackSpace&#8217;s new Building 43 project, thinking? We&#8217;re not sure who the other guy is, other than a rumor that he works at Amazon UK. Any information on what else happened that evening would be appreciated. Photos borrowed from Jamie Klingler . Sounds like I missed a hell of a party. Crunch Network : CrunchBoard because it&#8217;s time for you to find a new Job2.0

		<description><![CDATA[ There&#8217;s a lot of live video streaming competition out there right now, but Justin.tv remains the biggest (though Ustream says that&#8217;s up for debate). And it&#8217;s looking to hold that lead with a redesign launching today, along with some new features. The new site has an overall cleaner and simplified look. And simplification is the key to another big change: The addition of big front page broadcaster. When you first load up the site you will see front and center a large video player with the phrase &#8220;Live broadcasting in one click.&#8221; If you click on the big red button below it, you&#8217;ll load up your camera options screen, where you pick a camera to record from. From there you can log-in or create an account to start broadcasting. Previously, you had to log-in or set up an account first and could then start recording on a different page. This new way makes it much more obvious how to get recording right away. Another change is the addition of a Meebo IM chat bar to each page on the site. Previously, chat only existed in channel chat rooms, but now the Meebo bar will allow you to continually chat no matter where you are on the site. Justin.tv says it&#8217;s the first live video...

		<description><![CDATA[ Blizzard&#8217;s World Of Warcraft appears to be down indefinitely in China, which is one of WoW&#8217;s largest user bases. Blizzard recently changed the company that was operating WoW for them in China from The9 to NetEase. WoW was supposed to be up and running by the end of June. Apparently the transition hasn&#8217;t gone so well because WoW isn&#8217;t up in China and it appears that there is no update as to when the game will be available. One report suggests that the Chinese government is looking into the partnership between NetEase and Blizzard as possible illegal joint venture and has suspended WoW until the investigation is over. Blizzard and The9 launched WoW in China in 2005 and saw a massive response to the role-playing game. In less than one month, the game surpassed 1.5 million paying players thanks to China&#8217;s growing gaming community. It&#8217;s not clear what the holdup

		<description><![CDATA[ We poked some fun at Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer earlier today for his poor track record with regards to predictions for competitors. But really, Ballmer is just as good as any big company CEO at getting his troops and audiences fired up about something. I&#8217;ve spoken with a few employees who&#8217;ve described his rabble-rousing as nothing short of mesmerizing. And he was apparently in top form again today at the Microsoft conference currently happening in New Orleans. But there may be a method to the madness. We&#8217;ve all seen &#8220; Developers, developers, developers &#8221; by now. That was Ballmer at his finest, repeating a single word 14 times in a row before he ran out of breath. Yes, 14 times. But this new Ballmer in the post-Gates era of Microsoft has scaled back a bit. Now he seems to only emphasize things in sets of threes. Ashlee Vance cracked the new code in an aside in his Bits Blog post today . Just read some of the key blurbs from his speech today: ...

		<description><![CDATA[ Back in May, Twitter was hacked by someone who got into the accounts of several Twitter employees and then gained access to high-profile accounts such as those of Britney Spears and Ashton Kutcher. The breach was the work of someone going by the name Hacker Croll, who posted the compromised screen shots on a French message board. Now more screenshots attributed to the same hacker have popped up on another French site (rough translation here ). According to the post, Hacker Croll was able to compromise the Twitter accounts of founder Evan Williams , his wife, and several employees. Using password recovery techniques, Hacker Croll claims he gained access to various Paypal, Amazon, Apple , AT&#038;T, MobileMe and Gmail accounts. I emailed Evan Williams asking about the breach.  He confirms: Yes, we did suffer an attack a few weeks ago and are familiar with this list of stuff. This is unrelated to the hack of twitter where someone gained access to user&#8217;s accounts. This had nothing to do with the security of twitter.com , and there were no user accounts compromised here. Some notes: - He did not actually gain access to my @ev Twitter account (or any Twitter accounts) nor any administrative functions of the site. - There is also no evidence that he gained access to my email. There was one administrative employee who&#8217;s email was ...

		<description><![CDATA[ Bing certainly isn&#8217;t wasting any time in showing off how much it loves Twitter. The search engine has just launched BingTweets , a new site created in tandem with Federated Media that combines Twitter Search results with Bing Search. The hybrid allows users to browse through Bing while they see a stream of real-time results fly by, which could be particularly useful for researching a current event, or perhaps a new movie. The top of the site features a listing of popular terms, grouped into a general &#8216;popular now&#8217; category, and then divided by People Places, and Products. You&#8217;re also free to search for whatever term you&#8217;d like using the box in the upper right hand corner of the screen. The resulting site could prove useful, but it&#8217;s a little cluttered, with a scrolling list of constantly updated Tweets on the left side and your standard Bing search results on the right. This would be fine, were it not for the large &#8216;trending topics&#8217; section and &#8217;sharing&#8217; sections in the header which should probably be tucked along the side. My biggest gripe, though, is that the Bing search results are in a frame — I&#8217;d much rather just have the whole page dedicated to the results, even if I had to sacrifice the nice blue border. This isn&#8217;t Bing&#8217;s first attempt ...

		<description><![CDATA[ Google is scheduled to announce second quarter earnings on Thursday afternoon, and Citi analyst Mark Mahaney just sent out the handy cheat sheet above showing consensus estimates, as well as his own. The Street is looking for $4.05 billion in net revenues, Mahaney is predicting $3.97 billion. Anything above $4.05 billion would be viewed as positive, and anything below Mahaney&#8217;s estimate would be viewed as negative. Similarly, the Street consensus on non-GAAP EPS (earnings per share) is $5.05, while Mahaney thinks it will be 20 cents lower ($4.85). Anything between the two extremes would be viewed as neutral, according to his cheat sheet. Mahaney is somewhat bearish compared to the consensus view, perhaps because of the continued economic difficulties and the deep funk the advertising industry is in. He expects revenues to increase only 2 percent on an annual basis, and to decline 3 percent on a quarterly basis. ( Last quarter was the first time Google ever reported a sequential drop in revenues). His EPS estimate is only 5 percent higher than Google&#8217;s second quarter earnings a year ago, and 6 percent less than last quarter&#8217;s. The cheat sheet also goes into how to evaluate Google&#8217;s key financial metrics, such as paid click revenue growth and average cost per click...

		<description><![CDATA[ Who says 140 characters isn&#8217;t enough to say something constructive ? Matt Stewart is writing an entire novel that way.

To be clear, the book, called The French Revolution (being released today, appropriately on Bastille Day), is already written. But Stewart and his agent couldn&#8217;t get any publishers to bite, so they decided to go the non-traditional route, to say the least. Here&#8217;s how this works: Every so often, Stewart is tweeting out sentences (or incomplete sentences) from the book.

		<description><![CDATA[ In the down economy, the housing market has taken a turn for the worst, with landlords struggling to fill apartments and developers having trouble offloading new properties. iBidCondo is a new site launching this summer that&#8217;s looking to help: the site offers an auction system that gives property owners an alternative method to sell their real estate (and make a profit doing it), while also giving users a chance to acquire real estate at very, very low prices. The site just held a test auction in May that sold off a $690,000 condo for only $86,840, and it&#8217;s going to begin another auction later this month. The auction strategy is one that reminds me of Swoopo , a controversial auction site we recently covered that allows users to buy inexpensive &#8216;tokens&#8217; that they use to make bids (even if you don&#8217;t win the item, you&#8217;re still out the cost of those tokens).
