Mountain View, Calif. - FriendFeed, the developer of a social media platform that lets users keep up with what Web pages, photos, videos and music their friends and family are sharing, announced on Tuesday that it has raised $5 million in its first round of financing, from Benchmark Capital and company co-founders Paul Buchheit and Sanjeev Singh.

The Mountain View, Calif.-based company launched its service in beta late last year, and made FriendFeed publicly available today.
