AdaptiveBlue is very likeable, though. It’s best known for BlueOrganizer, which the company describes as “a smart-browsing tool for Firefox and Flock.” Further details are available on the corporate site, or from TechCrunch’s Marshall Kirkpatrick. Kirkpatrick also carried (and broke, as far as I can tell) news of AdaptiveBlue’s fresh source of funds.

It looks like Union Square Ventures is one of the best sources a company could hope for – its record indicates that the firm doesn’t mess about. Its “current portfolio investments” include Feedburner and Indeed; the ever-popular del.icio.us is among the firm’s “exited investments.”

Delve a little deeper into Union Square Ventures’s website, and you’ll discover that its partners have, “[o]ver the past 17 years, . . . been directly involved in the development of 40 companies and have, through our prior firms, participated in the launch of over 120 companies.” That all amounts to a pretty impressive track record.

So . . . where will AdaptiveBlue take them? It’s hard to say. A glance at the “Press” section of the AdaptiveBlue site reveals that they’ve gotten plenty of coverage, but their product still doesn’t seem to be widely known. And a few comments following Kirkpatrick’s article amounted to “sounds cool, although I don’t/won’t use it myself.”

Maybe that’s not such a great start. But maybe, with the money from Union Square Ventures, it’s more than enough.
