We have good news to share today: NewsWhip has taken investment from some fantastic backers, including The Associated Press, 500 Startups, Tribal.vc, Matter, Social Starts and the SaaS Syndicate.
The funding totals over $1.6 million dollars. We plan to use it to develop the next generation of NewsWhip’s platform, making it even better at tracking, predicting and understanding the sharing of news stories and other viral content. We’ll also use the funds to grow the company’s US-based business development team. Between our offices in Dublin and New York, we will add at least fifteen more jobs over the next nine months, doubling our team size.
Fair play though, in fairness.

Sorry bg, where should we send the check for the story we used?
This is Ireland. It’s “cheque”.
It that was all … To me its nothing less than another Taboola, spammy content disguised as “viral”. Like i said, horrible for the internet users, only good to line the pocket of advertisers…
A good read on the matter:
