Hip-Hop Homepage Developer GGDigital Gets $3.5 Million
(I'm hoping this news means that I can finally write and talk about this site and no longer have to remain confidential.)
From DigitalMediaWire:
New York - GGDigital Inc., a company developing a personalized home page for hip-hop fans, has raised $3.5 million of an expected $4.5 million new round of financing, led by Accel Partners, PEHub.com reported.
Other investors included hip-hop impresario Russell Simmons, who also backed entertainment network 360hiphop.
New York-based GGDigital's founders include a number of former 360hiphop executives, including Navarrow Wright, Richard Slomovitz and Osman Eralp.
GGDigital is currently in a private alpha test for Global Grind, its personalized start page, which will allow users to aggregate blogs, social networks, news sites, video, photos and RSS feeds on a single page.

A site this major that has managed to raise Xmillions of dollars, but gives me an error message stating that it is not yet available on my browser (opera version9)and that I should go and download firefox ore IE7 is a huge disappointment to me.
I know this is not the point which you are blogging about, but when did major companies start leaving notices like this on their websites.
Is this some new trend?
