Online video discovery engine Taboola has secured $4.5 million in a second round of funding. Previous investor Evergreen Ventures led the round, which also included funds from a new group of Israeli and American investors.

It also has a service called DiscoverAd, which inserts both text and video ads within the recommendation stream.

Taboola has raised a total of $6 million since its launch in 2007. Release.
