What's an investment bubble without a housing bubble to go along with it? Glenn Kelman of realtor service Redfin.com says houses are selling within hours, "everyone has money," and the market is "madness." This has never gone wrong.

The AP's Twitter account was just hacked, almost certainly in the same fashion as Burger King and Jeep before it. All of this because Twitter still won't add simple two-step security like Facebook or GMail.

It's hard to imagine what could be worse than being fired in the same paragraph that heaps praise upon the work you've been doing. But at Tumblr, there is worse: your company shitcans you and then unveils shiny new LA real estate. What are they thinking?

Twitter has been slow and/or totally broken since this morning for many users—what the company is calling a "service issue." Meanwhile, the last tweet from the communications team is about the new music app.

Of all the possible privacy night terrors you can conjure up around Google's fantastically-engineered cosplay device, spotting Glass next to you at a urinal ranks near the top. But for Rackspace employee and professional Guy Who Shows Up at Tech Stuff Robert Scoble, this is totally normal. He's doing it right now.

Despite a recent investment from Jeff Bezos, Business Insider appears to be advertising for Facebook instead.

The days of Hewlett-Packard's Silicon Valley dominance sure do feel far away, don't they? The company has no clear future, a slew of futures, financial misery and now... inspirational ballet. Slow clap.

Every single Kardashian (that we can count) tweeted or Instagrammed about how much they love the video-sharing app Keek last night, perfectly timed to the E! upfronts. What's the going rate for a celebrity startup boost these days?

Looks like a lot of people have been buying wacky stools and canine bow ties: TechCrunch reports that whimsy epicenter Fab.com is taking a new funding round that will put its "value" squarely at one billion dollars.

Mike Arrington's jowls and brash questions have been a staple of TechCrunch's annual green-tinted festival of self-congratulation. But a well-informed source tells us the former main act won't be attending this year.

What the hell is Yahoo? No one knows. But it's definitely not in the business of events planning anymore, with the news that it's unceremoniously killing Upcoming.org after ten years.

What "self-respecting man who likes sports," Internet Alpha Male and VC Ben Lerer ponders, wouldn't like these baseball caps with Hawaiian print brims? Conveniently sold by his men's online clothing emporium. Hawaiian print brims. Where's your self-respect, bro?

Tumblr isn't a lot of things: profitable, gentle with its staff, or generally SFW. But if you ask Tumblr, it's definitely doing a lot of incredible things. An incredible number of incredible things, incredibly, according to Matt Langer, who counted every single instance of the word on the staff blog. Incredible.

Looks like Tumblr actually does sorta care about making money: mobile users will see "up to four ads per day, and they'll be differentiated with a dollar-sign icon with beams shooting out of it," reports AdAge. Subtle! Sadly, this revenue will be too late to save the editorial team Tumblr just canned.

A Kickstarter-style startup that lets you invest in the future wealth of other humans just received a $5.9 million investment from some already-rich humans. "The trick will be to attract investors," opines PandoDaily. I feel seasick.

Remember Grooveshark? You could stream any song you wanted, in high quality, for absolutely free. It sort of seemed too good to be true, which it was: every major music label sued the site into the depths of hell. Now the pummeling has hit home for the guy in charge: "I am like literally broke."

Successful mega-investor Dave McClure is all about quantity over quality, and he's not ashamed: his fund is called 500 Startups, after all. But if you want to be part of this moneyed crowd, you'll have to get past the worst email wall I've ever seen.

People with autism can work just as hard as the rest of us, if not harder, TechCrunch would like to remind you. In fact, they're "phenomenal workers." So, go hire some autistic people.

Randi Zuckerberg, famous for her accomplishments in the field of being related to her own brother, loves the public eye. Except when it's mean. So please, Randi implores, only nice attention from now on.

It's simple to give us your dirt. You can send in a tip (anonymous is A-OK), email me directly, tweet at me, or just plop your words straight the discussion section underneath any post. It's easy and safe—we've got a guide to leaking right here.
