FeedBlitz, a Blog/RSS to email service, announced an angel round of financing today from Tom Evslin, a previous AT&T and Microsoft executive. I’ve been very hard on Feedblitz in the past (see no. 2 here), and have been trashed right back by founder Phil Hollows. But today I’m going to just say “congratulations” to Phil and wish him luck. This round of financing will help him compete with Feedburner, who recently launched a competing service.
Do not panic. We accept late submissions for TechCrunch50, but please submit soon. »

oh!
Thank you, Michael.
LOL.
ouch
Its quite amazing to see an angel investing in such a competitive field. They tend to look for markets that are early-stage and with limited competition.
