Would everyone just stop getting funded already? The latest in the long line of funding announcements in our inbox is Grazr, which allows users to create "custom feed-based applications". The company has just completed Series A financing of $1.5M led by Boston-based angels Bruce Twickler and Louis Page.

All have worked together before: Grazr CEO Adam Green was the CTO of Andover.net in the dotcom boom, Bruce was the President and Louis was an investor. What's more, VisiCalc co-creator Dan Bricklin has joined the Board of Directors.

Grazr has just completed Version 1.1 of its free Grazr feed management system, with a new user interface for the Grazr Widget and a new version of the site. Explaining the Grazr concept is a bit tricky, but they're calling it a feed processing system. The most regularly used feature is a tool that lets you import a list of your RSS feeds (aka an OPML file) and produce a widget to post to your blog, Netvibes, Pageflakes, Blogger, Xanga and the rest. It's handy, but geeky.
