"Picasa Web Albums - Picasa Web Albums got a major update today - storage has increased to 1GB and you can search for public photos hosted by anyone else on the service.  Looks more Flickrish than ever.  (via)\nSearchles TV - Searchles, a social bookmarking platform that has so far failed to convince me, launched video support today.  Like many other services, it lets you combine videos from YouTube, Google Video, MySpace Video and more into a single player.  Pretty good, actually, and the widget will update itself automatically when you change the videos in your channel on the Searchles site.\nMyYahoo - The new version of MyYahoo we mentioned a few days ago is live.  Yahoo now creates pages automatically for existing users based on their interests, and category pages, a fully fledged feedreader and sharing of modules with friends have also been enabled.  Not sure why, I just don't find MyYahoo very compelling.\nGoogle Finance Video - Google Finance added video to its homepage today.  You gotta hand it to them: Google is wise to the importance of video.\nTamago - Tamango, a San Francisco-based music sales company which launched in October 2006, has raised angel funding.  Artists add their music and fans earn money for distributing their purchases to others - it's basically an affiliate scheme like recently-acquired PeerImpact/WurldMedia.  Founder Joel Floyd was previously the Principal Architect at Sony Music.  \nSkyblog - Skyblog, the French blogging service, reports 7.5 million users, with 27,000 new Skyblogs created every day.  The stats were revealed at the OPA conference.  It's also worth remembering that Skyblog plans international expansion, most notably in the US.  (via)\nCriteo Autoroll - Criteo Autoroll is a new widget for you blog sidebar that displays links to related blogs that also use the widget.  Interesting.\nMandy Moore-Eventful - The Eventful Demand widget is the best idea the Eventful folks have come up with so far - it's all over MySpace Music.  Today they're launching a competition with Mandy Moore where kids compete to have Mandy play at their school.\nPlanix - Planix, a Web 2.0 software budgeting service we reviewed while it was in private beta, is now live.  See our full Planix review.\neNom-DemandMedia - DemandMedia just put out a press release announcing that resellers of \".tv\" domains will now be able to offer social networking tools to their customers.  The idea is to get more people using .tv domains now that web video is taking off.  We covered this strategy in the post about ChannelMe.tv.\nInstacomment - Instacomment is a javascript box that adds comments to any page.  Do we need an embedded piece of javascript for something so simple?  \nZoopy - Zoopy just launched its new video and photo-sharing site.  It's based in South Africa.  While that logo and odd cartoon character don't appeal at all, the site is pretty good - nice, simple and lots of content.\nTapaTap - News on the venture wires is that TapaTap, a mobile social network that hasn't launched yet, has raised $2.5M in Series A funding from Gabriel Venture Partners.  Looks like 2007 will be the year of mobile social networks after all."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
