Jewish social network Koolanoo has raised funding of $3 million from Giza Venture Capital, a VC with offices in Israel, New York and Singapore. The company plans to launch social networks for other religious and ethnic groups, and already operates 360Quan.com, a Chinese social network and video site.

Our initial review of Koolanoo was mixed: it was hard to use, a lot of features were missing and it felt no better than most off-the-shelf scripts. Today, however, it seems to be much improved: the homepage has been revamped to suck people in, and they're reaching a critical mass as far as users and content are concerned. This could work.
