Your assignment for the evening. Find out something about the following rumors:

That BitTorrent Inc., which maintains the peer-to-peer file sharing system, is about to close a hugely oversubscribed round of funding. Who, who locked out, how much?

A social network for the blog reading community, MyBlogLog was seeking venture funding until very recently. But the latest rumor is acquisition, by one of the Big 3. Which one?

Digg is a perennial takeover target, so I have no idea whether today's rumor is old news, rehashed, or something new. Help!

Information, misinformation, to tips@valleywag.com.
