Along with more money Twitter has added two new members to its board, Flipboard’s Mike McCue and DoubleClick’s David Rosenblatt, it confirmed in a blog post it humorously headlined “Stocking Stuffer.” Twitter also confirmed the $200 million number in an email sent to TechCrunch earlier.
This lastest coffer dump expands the company’s total funding to about $360 million. Other investors include Benchmark Capital, Union Square Ventures and Spark Capital. As Twitter has recently revamped its business and ad strategy, it remains to be seen what will be done with this latest windfall.
Whatever it is I for one can’t wait.
