Funding Round-Up: RockYou, Earth Class Mail

ADOTAS – RockYou, a widget and social applications shop, raised $17 million to pad out its already generous $35 million third round. The company has raised a total of $67 million so far.

Earth Class Mail has raised $5.1 million in funding through a convertible note. The company has also agreed to work with the national mail carrier of Switzerland (Swiss Post) in a deal that will allow the Post to license its technology for converting snail mail into digital files. Earth Class Mail is currently raising a Series B round that it estimates could approach $30 million.

  • Mobile. Smart devices have become standard, and advertising is only going to become more creative there.
  • Online video. It's a real competitor to TV now, and it presents really interesting ways to engage viewers.
  • Social media. The new Facebook timeline and the surge of Google+ have cracked the game wide open again.
  • Tempting as it might be, I don't want to get too involved in one aspect.
