Authored by Mark Hefflinger on April 22, 2008 - 7:21am.

Palo Alto, Calif. - Vysr, a developer of browser technology that lets users "tap their favorite Web services and social networks wherever they go on the Web," announced on Tuesday its emergence from stealth mode and a $2 million round of financing.

Backers included Ron Conway, The Sandhill Group and Battery Ventures' Mark Sherman.

Palo Alto, Calif.-based Vysr today launched a public beta test of its RoamAbout application.

"Today, consumers are forced to browse multiple sites to accomplish a single task or are shackled to one site to use a particular service," said Vysr CEO Guda Venkatesh.

"This site-centric model limits how and where consumers can engage, interact with, and enjoy their favorite Web sites and services, including how much time they spend doing various tasks. With our open platform, we hope to evangelize a new class of applications purposely-designed for the user-centric Web."
