Mixx, the social news site that just announced its upcoming public beta launch yesterday, now tells us about its first round of funding from Intersouth Partners. Financial details of the round were not disclosed. We first reviewed Mixx here.

This latest Digg clone incorporates personalization options for content recommendation, and has partnered with content publishers USA Today, Reuters and the LA Times for distribution purposes. Users can submit photos and videos, and benefit from Mixx's local content search filters. DailyMe is another personalized news delivery service that's just launched yesterday.
