Social music startup TuneWiki is getting even more backing, this time from DOCOMO Capital, the venture arm of Japanese mobile company NTT DOCOMO. TuneWiki, which said just a week ago that it had raised a second round of funding led by Motorola (NYSE: MOT), says that DOCOMO is making a “strategic investment in the company in a supplemental closing to its previously announced Series B financing.”
TuneWiki started out as a desktop app and site nearly two years ago — but has since also launched several mobile apps for Android, the iPhone, BlackBerry and Symbian, which let users share their music selections on Facebook and Twitter, get track lyrics, and see what other people near them are listening to. The company says it will use the new cash to “help continue to build new products and expand its current offerings for mobile platforms and the web.” Specifically, it’s planning to launch a mobile game. More in the release.
