MomJunction gets funded; Grouptivity Launches

MomJunction gets funded: Another vertical social networking site, MomJunction.com, has secured $1.5 million in funding from PointRoll, Inc. CEO Christopher Saridakis and founder Jules Gardner, and entrepreneur Pat Croce. MJ is claiming to add unique value by enabling moms to build a network of trust with other MJ members to share knowledge, tips, and questions. I thought all social networks aim to do that. Anyway, MJ has its hands full in terms of competitors that include CafeMom, Maya’s Mom, Famster, MothersClick………

Grouptivity Launches: SocialMail, about which I had written before, has changed its name to Grouptivity and officially launches today. Grouptivity is another service, in this case for ordinary users, that tries to bring the power of discussion boards, event management and much more to your email network. Checkout the site at Grouptivity.com
