Along with more money Twitter has added two new members to its board, Flipboard’s Mike McCue and DoubleClick’s David Rosenblatt, it confirmed in a blog post it humorously headlined “Stocking Stuffer.” Twitter also confirmed the $200 million number in an email sent to TechCrunch earlier.
This lastest coffer dump expands the company’s total funding to about $360 million. Other investors include Benchmark Capital, Union Square Ventures and Spark Capital. As Twitter has recently revamped its business and ad strategy , it remains to be seen what will be done with this latest windfall. Whatever it is I for one can’t wait.
