Aggregator Activity: Rojo Launches and NewsGator Gets More Funding

Posted on April 29, 2005

Rojo.com officially debuted their online RSS aggregator software earlier this week. Rojo.com's blog describes some of Rojo's features:

We believe that analytics and community based features are what make feed reading accessible and appealing to technophiles and new consumers alike so we provide RojoBuzz, which tracks which webpages are most linked-to by the feeds you read. With Rojo's community features you can share stories, feeds, tags, contacts, and profile information with your friends and colleagues, making it easy to find, discover, and share interesting content.

Meanwhile, NewsGator, which calls itself the leading RSS software platform company, announced recently that it has closed a third round of funding led by Masthead Venture Partners and with continuing support from existing investor Mobius Venture Capital. This brings the total capital raised by the company since June of 2004 to over $10 million.
