Our friends at Snapvine are in the news:

Snapvine, which this week unveiled an application that allows individuals to post personalized voice comments to their MySpace pages, recently scored more than $2 million in venture funding from Draper Fisher Jurvetson, an early investor in Skype, and First Round Capital, the venture fund of Half.com founder Josh Kopelman. Russell Siegelman, a former Microsoft Corp. executive and a partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, also is an individual investor and board member.

“It is adding voice to social networking,” explains Siegelman, who was attracted to Snapvine’s team of engineers. “I just think there are a lot of untapped innovations yet to come that integrate the Web and voice.”

Snapvine has attracted some top-notch talent, including Curtis Vredenburg, one of the first employees at Ask Jeeves, and Rob Frederick, who previously led Amazon.com’s Web services group. The six-person company, which has been keeping a low profile for the past few months, just moved into new office space in Belltown.
