Disclosure: I am an engineer with HootSuite
Although my associate worked for a Angel Investing company and my main seed investor work for a investment bank, we still don't understand who get selected to get funded or not (we DO know the formal requeriments, but seemly meeting them only make possible to talk with some investors, but that is it, lots of investors will just outright ignore you)
It looks like you are a game developer by looking at your profile. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but game companies just aren't that great of an investment for investors. Game development is a hit based business and investors prefer to invest in scalable, repeatable models.
From the article:
> And it was already profitable.
I don't know the situation, but that sounds odd.
Oh that's right, they can't get funding because MBAs don't care about super laser tech or virtual reality devices, but whatever gets them the most money.
* Helped enterprise clients manage their customer service email accounts
* Helped enterprise clients manage their web pages
Eventually "social media" will just become a normal part of the internet. Just another company taking advantage of the idiocy and fear prevalent in large enterprises. "Hmm, this social media thing sounds big. We need to be involved in social media. Who can we throw buckets of money at to pretend they are helping us with our social media?"
We recently built our own social media data discovery and analytics platform, and whenever we run reports on software clients for top tweets - HootSuite is always in 1st or 2nd position. Nice market penetration there.

In case anyone is interested - ours is not designed to replace HootSuite but to complement it:
