Vibrant Media Gets $25 Million Second Round Funding

So it has come to this: Vibrant Media, the online advertising firm which has its in-story “Intellitxt” link advertising service, has raised $25 million in second round funding, according to a regulatory filing, picked up by PE Week Wire. Backers include ABS Capital Partners and Messpierson Investeringsmaatschappij of The Netherlands.

We have been a vocal opponent of this form of advertising….not that it matters, since the greed-factor in the industry is pretty high these days.
