Urtak Raises $500k To Ask You The Big Questions: Yes? No? Dont Care?

volcanoBack in the old days of online publishing (say, 2007), you'd reach the bottom of a blog post or news article, peruse the comment section, possibly leave one of your own, and then move on to the next hot story.It was a simpler time.These days, things are a lot different. Many sites are now experimenting with myriad widgets: story recommendations, games, polls, a dozen sharing options if you can think of it, someone has tried embedding it at the bottom of a post.One company that's part of this trend is Urtak, a startup that participated in the mostrecent batch of TechStars NYC. And today it's announcing that it's raised a $500,000 seed funding round with investors including Vaizra Investments, Quotidian Ventures, Advancit Capital, and Esther Dyson.
