Proving that BlogHer is the force to be reckoned with when it comes to women and blogging, the site has received an additional $7 million in funding, according to a recent post by Kara Swisher of All Things Digital.

Swisher reports that BlogHer now employs 30 people and the network itself reaches more than 14 million unique visitors a month.

If you haven’t had the chance to read some of the great content on BlogHer’s site or attend one of their conferences, make sure to spend some time at their web site. You can read the entire All Things Digital report here.

Yet Another Tool for IMing, Emailing, etc…

By Andrea MacLean

Google wants to change the way people communicate online by blending instant messaging, e-mail and document collaboration into a new service, called Wave. The free service will eliminate the need to use multiple tools to communicate online, according to Google execs, and will be available to the public later this year.

Software developers are being encouraged to create features that are compatible with Wave and web site owners or bloggers will be able to incorporate Wave’s messaging features as a bulletin board, for example.

Pretty cool, although we will have to wait and see whether consumers will be willing to leave behind their current e-mail, IM, etc and ride the Google Wave. Is there anything Google can’t do? Sigh.
