+ Lycos and BlinkxTV Announce Deal
BlinkxTV (a variety of video content, video blog content and more) will power the new video channel on Lycos. Blinkx also maintains its own site. Look for the video search option linked from the Lycos search box on their home page. Here's a sample video search. Btw, video news on Lycos comes via a feed from the Associated Press.
+ Yahoo's New Mortgage Shortcut
The Yahoo Search blog points to a new "shortcut" that offers current mortgage rates for any city in the United States. Simply enter [city names] mortgage rates. For example, Seattle mortgage rates. You'll also find links to STATE mortgage trend graphs from Yahoo Real Estate. More real estate shortcuts:
+ [city] real estate; San Mateo real estate
+ Also, Yahoo Real Estate has a new design that takes advantage of Yahoo Maps.
