Redfin Real Estate Site Lands $12 Million
Redfin is an “online brokerage for residential real estate,” and, if you read the company’s website, it was actually the first one. It’s probably also the richest – Redfin just received $12 million in financing.
Healthline Receives $21 Million Injection
In a manner of speaking, Healthline is looking especially robust today – it just received $21 million in financing.

Tudou’s Videos Receive $19 Million In VC Funding
Tudou, a Chinese video-sharing site, has just raised 143 million yuan.

SupplyFrame Gets $7 Million In Funding
SupplyFrame doesn’t try to fight with Google, Yahoo, and the rest; instead, it provides “search and interactive quoting tools for electronic components.” Yet there’s apparently big money in that aspect of the search business – SupplyFrame just received a fresh $7 million in funding.
Yahoo oneSearch May Reach 100 Million New Eyes
The first line of a fresh Yahoo press release describes the corporation as “a leading global Internet company,” and I have to wonder: isn’t that pretty old news? Yet, following a deal with six mobile operators throughout Asia, the phrase may bear repeating.
