What James did next

Arik Hesseldahl, over at the All Things Digital blog, has an exclusive on what former Omniture CEO Josh James has been up to since pocketing $80m-plus from the $1.8bn sale of the web analytics company to Adobe in late 2009.

Hesseldahl reports that James has bought out Corda Technologies, the developer of business data dashboard software, as a platform on which to build a new venture, though details are vague.

Seed funding of more than $5m is incoming, apparently. Read the full story here.

Meanwhile, over in Israel, a social media monitoring and analysis firm called Buzzilla has secured an initial $1m investment to help it expand internationally. The business, now independent, was previously part of TBWA Digital Israel.

Business website Globes has all the details.
