Silicon Valley blog search engine Technorati, fresh from a facelift, has raised $3 million more — after they’d already announced $7.6 million in third-round funding last month. We contacted the company early yesterday about this, but they have chosen not to confirm this to anyone, as far as we can tell — including us.

So why did Draper Fisher Jurvetson and Mobius Venture Capital return with more? Don’t know, but one reason, of course, is that competitor Feedster announced a round of capital right after Technorati did. And then there was Sphere, which also raised cash. It’s good to have bragging rights.
