Audioblog.com secures funding to launch podcast and videoblog service in Asia

Audioblog_1Just got pinged by Master Eric Rice on his funding announcement: Audioblog.com secures funding to launch podcast and videoblog service and portal in Japan, Korea and China.

This is an exciting news , especially as Eric looks at entering the relatively untapped Asian market leveraging the experience of a great partner. No terms disclosed in Eric’s post:

I’m excited to announce funding, as well as a partnership between Audioblog.com and Transcosmos Investments, (The US investment arm of Transcosmos Japan) and Tokyo-based J-Stream, a media infrastructure provider.

Together, we’ll be launching our existing podcast and videoblog service
and portal in the region for mobile and computer-based customers.

Congrats to Eric and the Audioblog.com team!

And as usual, Om broke it. Wonder if he got the scoop at the SimplyFired dinner.

    It couldn’t happen to a nicer guy, and a cooler technology. Now, I just need to podcast more.

    Before expansion to Asia, why not upgrade your piss poor customer service!
