Om Malik has a scoop on venture capitalists' love affair with RSS.

I have learned exclusively that Technorati has/or is about to close its first round of funding. My sources indicate that it was a mega-round, about $6.5 million at a valuation of around $12 million for the company. Draper Fisher Jurvetson led the round.

Om draws attention to Newgator's funding received in June and drops hints about Feedster, and Bloglines. All in all, good news and congratulations to Technorati. May the network prosper...
