After launching Buzz last week, Google have continued on the social track by now acquiring social search service Aardvark. The deal, rumoured to be worth around $50 million, could see Google use the social search engine as an answer to, well, Yahoo! Answers. Through IM, Twitter and e-mail, Aardvark lets you ask full-text questions and then takes your social connections and attempts to identify the best person within your network (or extended network - friends and family) who might be able to assist in giving that answer. Here is how Wired explains the concept behind Aardvark: Users who sign up give (Aard)Vark access to one of their social networks - Facebook, LinkedIn or the e-mails in their contact list. Users then say what things they are confident answering questions about (e.g. chess, cooking, country music). Vark then routes future questions - such as what's the best country band out of the south from the 1970s or where's a good sushi restaurant near Santa Monica - to the ...

RISMEDIA, February 16, 2010-Marty Van Diest lists and sells homes in the Malanuga-Susitina Borough of Alaska through his Valley Market Real Estate office located in Wasilla, Alaska. It's an area bigger than North Carolina. He lives in Palmer and his office is in Sarah Palin's hometown of Wasilla. He's been a real estate agent for 19 years. Despite having his office in Wasilla, he can't see Russia from there, but he sees success on the Internet every day. When you are in a place as unforgiving as Alaska in winter, organization and efficiency are essential If you ever read Jack London's great stories earlier in your life, you know that Alaska in winter can be an unforgiving place. If you saw the movie Into the Wild , you also know it's no place for beginners at any time of year. If you had to earn your living in an area the size of North Carolina, you'd do whatever you could to make your job easier and your performance stronger. Marty started trying to make th...

Find Foreclosures Across the Country Foreclosures: What Are They? Foreclosure occurs when a bank repossesses a property because the owner fails to pay the mortgage. Foreclosure is not a quick process, however. Usually, foreclosure occurs when the homeowner, or borrower, misses several payments. This is called a default and starts the foreclosure process. Banks and homeowners have several options when faced with foreclosure. The home can be sold in a pre-foreclosure sale or short sale, can go to auction, or can be taken over by the financial institution and become a bank owned property (REO). How Do Foreclosure Sales Work? Pre-Foreclosure Sales In a pre-foreclosure sale, a property may be bought from the homeowner of the financial institution holding the mortgage prior to the start of the foreclosure process. Generally, the seller is relieved of financial liability and the buyer is able to obtain a house at or below market value. Auction Some banks may place a foreclosed property into a...

WASHINGTON – Citigroup Inc. plans to let homeowners on the verge of foreclosure stay in their homes for six months — if they turn over the deed to their property. Citi said Thursday it is launching the pilot program, dubbed "Foreclosure Alternatives," this week in Texas, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, New Jersey and Ohio. Initially, about 1,000 homeowners are expected to participate. Citi may expand the program nationwide. In a normal foreclosure, a lender assumes legal control of the property and evicts the homeowner. But Citi's program, like other "deed in lieu of foreclosure" efforts, allows the homeowner to avoid a completed foreclosure. While the owner must still leave the home after six months, the program results in a less severe hit to the borrower's credit score. The policy is an attempt to deal with what lenders see as a growing phenomenon: borrowers who choose to default on their mortgages. Close to one in every three U.S. homeowners owe more on ...
