Scoopler, one of the newest companies providing real-time search capabilities, has brought in a seed round somewhere between $500,000 and $1 million. Based in San Francisco, the company was backed by Avalon Ventures, XG Ventures and high-profile individual investors Ron Conway and Michael Birch.
Scoopler, which scours Twitter, Digg and Delicious as their content is updated, first received funding last year from Y Combinator.
