MocoNews reports that MocoSpace, a mobile social networking startup, has received $3 million in its first round of funding.

“The Boston-based company has been around for some time, and says it is nearing 1 million members. It has grown organically and has been doing ad campaigns across mobile ad networks such as Third Screen Media and AdMob,” according to MocoNews.
