Yardbarker raises another “large” seed round, for sports news site

Yardbarker, an Emeryville, Calif. company that runs a site aggregating content from sports bloggers, has raised another seed round of capital.

Yardbarker lets users rank the sports news they like — which pushes the best news to the top. We first covered the company after its August launch (scroll down).

The company wouldn’t disclose the size of the round, saying only that it was a “large” seed round.

It has since compiled feedback and created a new release of Yardbarker, which is also just out this week.
