Yahoo-PayPal - Yahoo is making a strike against Google Checkout by putting PayPal buttons next to sponsored search results. We have an interesting angle on that one that I may write up later.

MySpace TV - You may remember that there's a project called MySpace TV in the works, which may turn out to be MySpace's part in the NewTube venture. Either way, B&C gives some nice background on their most recent TV deals.

Spresent - Online presentation service Spresent just put out its "glass" release, which adds some new features. Fittingly, they're highlighted these in a presentation.

Glee.com - Glee.com, the LGBT social network, announced a partnership today with the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC). The NGLCC is the biggest LGBT business development organization in the world, meaning that gay people on Glee.com can get access to more professional opportunities. The LinkedIn for gay people, I guess.

HerOrbit - HerOrbit is a new social network for women that just launched in beta. It's pretty good, but competitors like iVillage have the advantage of a large user base.

Xanga Comments - Xanga is opening up to allow comments from non-Xanga users, the company said today. Perhaps the first step toward making the site fully open and accessible?

QueryCat - QueryCat is a new search engine for FAQs. Interesting idea.

Glide - Remember GlideDigital, the odd media-sharing site/software that we reviewed way back in 2005? They added mobile support today, although I'll admit I still don't understand the product - more at GlideDigital.com.

Orb API - Orb announced its API today. More at developer.orb.com.

Blinkx - Another video partnership for Blinkx: they're going to serve up relevant videos on Portfolio.com, which we mentioned yesterday.
