– Online social network hi5 has raised $23 million in new funding, including $3
million in debt, VentureBeat reported, citing regulatory filings.

Details on
investors were not provided.

Founded in 2003, San Francisco-based hi5 counts
over 50 million monthly visitors, and claims to be the third-largest social

The company last year decided to focus more on social games,
acquiring developer Big Six and hiring Wild Tangent founder Alex St. John as
its president and CTO.
