Blog and social networking search engine developer Lijit Networks Inc. Tuesday said it has raised a $7.1 million third round led by the Foundry Group. Returning investors Boulder Ventures and High Country Venture's Colorado Fund I also participated.
The round follows a $3.3 million Series B in June last year and a $900,000 first round. The two-year-old company, originally known as Outfoxed, offers a browser widget that enables users to search a particular blogger's Web site, bookmarks, blogroll and related media. Lijit said it plans to launch an ad network in addition to its search tool. - Olaf de Senerpont Domis
