Twitter Closes $15 Million Funding Round

Posted by Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins under 1

Twitter, apparently, has closed it’s much rumored $15 million funding round. That’s the news being reported by PaidContent today (a bit of news that seems to have been lost in the shuffle today).  The news came out this morning, and is some positive news that couldn’t come at a better time for the somewhat beleaguered (at least in the blogosphere) status microblogging company.

Twitter hasn’t had a solid week in which all the features were functional or the service itself had consistent uptime in recent memory.  Add onto that the PR faux pax with Pownce’s community director being called the C-Word (not to mention the very public separation with LastPodcast blogger Frederic), and it’s just not been a good few weeks.

Who is making it all seem worthwhile for the Twitterpeople?  Spark Capital with Union Square are the two PaidContent is confirming through their unnamed sources.
