Searching public BitTorrent sites for that special torrent can be challenging, particularly if you’re looking for something more obscure. Web site YouTorrent simplifies the process by searching for torrents across the most popular BitTorrent sites in real-time, then dynamically returning and sorting the results by number of seeds. YouTorrent’s results are fast and its pages are ad-free (for now). YouTorrent is reminiscent of previously mentioned Scrape Torrent, which does the same thing but has since turned into a pop-up blocker’s nightmare. For the time being, YouTorrent is an excellent place to start your BitTorrent searches.

con_pricespider.jpg PriceSpider works much like WishRadar that we mentioned last week, except PriceSpider focuses exclusively on electronics, and searches more sites. You choose the product and set a target price, and when it sees that price somewhere online, it sends you an alert.

PriceProtectr will help you take advantage of any price-matching guarantees at 72 different stores. “If we notice the price drop any time within the price protection period, we’ll send an email your way (and we’ll keep sending them if the price keeps dropping).”

The founder of Spendfish has a collection of deal-related websites posted on his personal blog. It’s a great place to start if you’re not sure where else to look.

After about a month of beta testing the new Flickr Uploadr 3.0, the software is finally available for download in its complete and official package. Get it here. We first caught wind of the new Uploadr last month, when public beta testing began.You may remember that the big ado in regards to this latest version is its ability to tweak, rearrange, modify, tag and organize your images before uploading them to the site. It gives you far more control over your pictures, and minimizes the amount of editing time you need to do online, once you’ve in fact added the images to your Flickr account.

Digg, Reddit, Del.icio.us. They have the meta-data that we all love. And most of you out there have feeds for all three of these social bookmarking sites (and then some), so you can keep track of the top stories across the board. What NewzNozzl wants to do is take the meta-meta data from the top social bookmarking sites, and make its own version of a people-powered voting system. This means that you can’t submit directly to NewzNozzl, but it does pull the top stories from the top bookmarking sites.

Within Your Means: Financial Planning for Hidden Expenses by Michael Ham (Book) in Parenting & Families

An Excel workbook to help you create a budget that recognizes not only your explicit expenses (rent/mortgage, utilities, groceries, auto insurance and registration, and the like), but also implicit expenses: the money you implicitly spend by gradually wearing out things you must replace (car, tires, mattress, tv, furniture, and the like).
By structuring your budget so that these implicit expenses are also recognized and accounted for, you’ll find that you control your paycheck instead of its controlling you.

Invoice JournalThere are plenty of ways for small business owners to create and track invoices. You could just fill out a Word template every time you need to bill a client, or you could use free software like Microsoft Accounting Express or QuickBooks Simple Start. But as with everything these days, there are also online solutions.
Invoice Journal is a simple web site that lets you create and track your invoices. There’s a simple form for entering new clients, and another for sending invoices to those clients. Easy as pie.
Invoice Journal lacks some of the bells and whistles you’d get with a more complex service like FreshBooks. There’s no time tracking feature for example. But sometimes you want a service that does one thing and does it well.
If Invoice Journal doesn’t do it for you, we’ve also looked at Invotrak, another free invoicing startup, that quite frankly, works pretty much the same was as Invoice Journal.
