Trulia, the San Francisco-based real estate search website, today rolled out three new Web services -- worth checking out if you are a Trulia user or someone who wants to keep up on the newest Web-based real estate toys:

--’Trulia Mobile’ is a suite of new mobile products for phones and in-car navigation systems; it includes a special free application built for iPhones that detects your location and sends you nearby homes for sale, open houses, etc. Business Week has more on the new mobile products here.

--Localized news feeds that will included new listings, price trends and recently sold properties grouped by neighborhoods, and blog posts relating to those neighborhoods. Redfin recently rolled out a similar product that allows you to track activity in your neighborhood or city.

--A new, free blogging platform that will allow real estate agents to reach the Trulia audience, which Trulia estimates at 5 million home owners, buyers and real estate agents.
