Intel Capital-backed Six Apart merges with VideoEgg to form Say Media.

Six Apart, a US-based provider of blogging software and services backed by Intel Capital, has agreed to merge with video publisher VideoEgg to form Say Media.

VideoEgg has raised about $40m from venture capital firms August Capital, First Round Capital and Maveron, while Intel Capital, the corporate venturing division of US-listed semiconductor company Intel, has backed Six Apart, which last raised $12m in early 2006 as a series C round.

Six Apart had raised more than $22m in total from VCs August Capital, Focus Ventures and Neoteny and angel investor Reid Hoffman, chief executive of LinkedIn.
