TubeMogul has indeed raised $1.5 Million in Series A funding, as they announced at DEMO last week. We've talked about TubeMogul quite a bit here at Mashable; they're a web video company that likes to wear a few different hats. When they're not waxing insightful analysis of the online video business on their blog, they're providing a handy upload service with statistical tracking that spans the multitude of video sharing sites out there.
The announcement didn't get a whole lot of fanfare until a few days ago, when VentureBeat published the story. I didn't pick up on the story myself because no one mentioned the fact that the announcement was made at DEMO, and I thought it was the story of their seed round making a second run around the blogosphere (occasionally, some stories will end up doing that, especially since a lot of these funding stories end up getting typed out in the wee hours of the night).
Kristen also reported on a number of new features TubeMogul rolled out and announced at DEMO last week:
Thanks to TubeMogul's free report on how to monetize your online video content, this company has managed to stay in the press as much as possible as it geared up for its official public launch today, debuting its tools at DEMO. While we've covered this company in the past, the new features include video promotion with social bookmarking and news recommendation sites, large file support, and video transcoding. There is also a new thumbnail creation tool so creators can select video thumbnail for sites that offer this choice, and a comments manager that lets users read comments according to which video network they came from. What we've got here are more detailed ways in which a TubeMogul client can filter and analyze their data, as well as market it further throughout the web.
