Park City, Utah - iFollo.com, a site that lets users share stories of encounters with celebrities and public figures, announced on Tuesday that it has raised $1 million from investor Robert S. Trump.

Launched in late 2009, Park City, Utah-based iFollo.com relies on user-generated content to populate its site.

Users can post photos of their brushes with celebrity, as well as rate the subjects of their encounter on qualities such as "friendly," "hot," "smart," "grounded," or "arrogant."

The site is somewhat similar in scope to Gawker Media's "Stalker" feature, though iFollo.com allows users to elaborate more and create a narrative around their encounters.

Trump's other ventures include game development studio ZeniMax Media.
