Launching this week is VentureFizz, a site that aims to gather news and info about the Boston-area tech scene. Oddly, it is run by a Malvern, Pennsylvania recruiter named Keith Cline. (Cline also runs a very thorough blog on Northeast Venture Capital Funding and M&A Activity.)

What's Cline up to with VentureFizz?

First, it's a place for Cline's firm, Dissero, to promote job searches it is conducting. (Anyone else can post a job, too: 30 days for $50.)

Surrounding that is a collection of news items from sites like Boston.com, Mass High Tech, and Xconomy... events listings... and blog posts and tweets from local entrepreneurs and venture capitalists.

Cline tells me he grew up in New Hampshire, and while he lives in Pennsylvania, most of his recruiting work is for Boston-area companies.

As with all aggregation sites, it'll be interesting to see if anyone objects to being aggregated...
