Online video site Fora.tv has closed its first round of seed funding from backers Adobe (NSDQ: ADBE)  Systems and investor Will Hearst. As part of the funding, the amount of which was undisclosed in the release but we are told was just under $2 million,  FORA.tv is distributing its videos via Adobe’s flash-based media player. Fora is primarily focused on videos of scholarly political discussions. CSPAN is a content partner, as are Washington DC think tanks such as The Brookings Institution, Cato Institute and The Heritage Foundation.
