Can we be next?

Technorati and SocialText get funding! Social software scene heats up.

On the fifth anniversary of Blogger's debut, the money is flowing. Technorati and Socialtext get funded.

Congrats!

I've put all these up on my link blog too (among other interesting things blogged today), but here's the first links from all the feeds I watch:

Ross Mayfield (founder of Social text)
Rick Klau (works for Ross)
Pierre Omidyar (founder of eBay, one of the VCs behind Social Text)
Olivier Travers (knows everyone)
Mitch Ratcliffe (advisor to Socialtext)
Om Malik (first one to break the news on Technorati and has some details)
Socialtext's official comment.

Interesting, no comments yet from Dave Sifry, Technorati's founder, or Tantek, the guy who's reworking their technology, or Gnome-Girl, who's running Technorati's support department. I bet they are off having one heck of a party. Congrats to all!

Update: Just want to be clear that I don't have first-hand knowledge of the Technorati deal. I just saw Om Malik's blog on the topic where he quotes Steve Jurvetson and I'm taking that at face value. I'll feel more comfortable after I see someone actually involved with Technorati make a statement.
