Publish2 gets funding

We've talked here before about Publish2, a system designed to let journalists share bookmarks and recommendations in a variety of sophisticated ways. I've written about it several times – including here and here – and have been an unofficial "advisor" to CEO Scott Karp. Several McClatchy operations have been beta testers and have had discussions about how the service might advance our journalism.

I'm happy to pass along news that Publish2 has received its first round of venture funding, a $2.75 million infusion that ought to accelerate progress greatly.
