  Arianna Huffington defies skeptics, conquers the Web - Oct. 29, 2007
This, in a snapshot, is Arianna Huffington 2.0.
Before the launch of the Huffington Post in 2005, she was an easily caricatured Greek-born pundit and author who seemed to know everyone and have an opinion about everything.
Nowadays, thanks in large measure to the growing chatter about the Huffington Post, she is gaining not just media cred but the kind that comes with being one of those few people who supposedly "gets" the web.

 Huffington Post to get painted green | The Social - CNET News.com
The Huffington Post, the news aggregation and commentary site founded by political pundit Arianna Huffington and former AOL exec Ken Lerer, is finally jumping on the post-Al-Gore bandwagon.
You mean there isn't a 'green' section already?" The New York-based Huffington Post got its start as a liberal answer to the wildly popular Drudge Report news site, and while it's since branched beyond its political roots, it remains targeted toward a well-educated, left-leaning audience.
Huffington Post representatives said the effort was spearheaded by current Editor-at-large Willow Bay, a TV journalist who currently hosts programs on the Lifetime women's cable network.

  Worldandnation: Huffington beats odds as blogger
But exactly one year after establishing her Huffington Post Web site, the 55-year-old author and pundit has become a major voice in the blogosphere, defying critics while building a destination in cyberspace whose growth mirrors the maturation of blogging itself.
But Huffington, whose legendary schmoozing prompted one writer to call her the "Sir Edmund Hillary of social climbers," has paired celebrity sizzle with her site, tapping well-known liberals such as Al Franken, Alec Baldwin and Rob Reiner for her sprawling Internet-based cocktail party.
Of course, Huffington has made her mistakes, most famously her admission that a post attributed to George Clooney was assembled from quotes in other news stories with his publicist's consent.

  The Huffington Post - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Huffington Post (often shortened to HuffPost or HuffPo) is a left-leaning political group weblog founded by Arianna Huffington and Kenneth Lerer.
Begun on May 9, 2005, it is notable because of its early success and prominence as a dominantly leftist news and commentary outlet, and its feature of Huffington's network of prominent friends from various fields and viewpoints.
In addition to regular, almost-daily columns by Huffington and a core group of contributors (notably Harry Shearer, John Conyers, Cindy Sheehan), the HuffPost has featured notable celebrity contributors from politics, journalism, business, and entertainment (Norman Mailer, John Cusack, and Bill Maher, to name a few), as well as other relative unknowns.

 Vanity Fair: PRINTABLES   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Huffington called attention to Miller's controversial pre-war reporting from Iraq, and she published the summer's widespread rumor that Miller had been one of the administration's sources on Valerie Plame—meaning that she had gone to jail to protect her career, not her sources.
Huffington's conversation overflows with flattery and solicitous inquiries, and there is an almost hypnotic quality to her silken voice and her sultry accent—"which," she has said, "makes everything I say sound vaguely naughty." But it is when she starts to talk, really talk, that people are swept under.
Huffington was not on the list, but several months later, on the day Getty met him, she called Arianna and said, "I've found him!" The son of the Texas oilman Roy Huffington, Michael was 38 years old, tall, very handsome, and so reclusive that only five people in the world had his home telephone number.

 The New York Times > Technology > A Boldface Name Invites Others to Blog With Her
Arianna Huffington, the columnist and onetime candidate for governor of California, is about to move blogging from the realm of the anonymous individual to the realm of the celebrity collective.
Huffington's effort - to be called the Huffington Post (www.huffingtonpost.com) - will also seek to ferret out potentially juicy items and give them legs.
Huffington it was a mistake for her to call the Post a blog.

 Huffington Post To Take on Local Newspapers - ReadWriteWeb
Last night at Guardian News & Media's internal Future of Journalism conference, Arianna Huffington revealed that her Huffington Post property is planning to expand into local news.
Huffington’s notion that her $10 million in venture financing and her experience as a political blogger positions her to “take on local newspapers” is an ambitious one.
Huffington might note that there are more than a hundred excellent local newspapers providing hyper-local coverage of the Chicago marketplace for decades.

 The Huffington Post Names Hilary Rosen Political Director | Threat Level from Wired.com
Huffington says that Rosen's deep network of contacts in DC should help to boost her publication's political coverage.
In addition to being a pithy, long-time blogger at The Huffington Post and MSNBC political analyst, Rosen is the co-founder and board member of OurChart.com, a social networking site for lesbians.

 Huffington Post's next expansion: Local news, more venture funding | The Social - CNET News.com
Liberal news site The Huffington Post may just have expanded into eco-news, but the downtown New York-based company isn't stopping there: Local news sites are on the way, starting with a Chicago edition.
Huffington Post co-founder and namesake Arianna Huffington made the announcement at a conference hosted by the U.K.'s Guardian newspaper, which published a story Thursday.
It's crucial for the Huffington Post to lock down a solid audience, considering it began as a left-leaning political news outlet and some critics have been concerned that it will see a major drop in traffic after the 2008 U.S. election.

 Huffington Post Terminates Whistleblower
The Huffington Post shut down access to this blog post; later in the day allowed the post to be viewed again, and then terminated Dr. Rost’s access to the site.
The Huffington Post wrote in a letter to Dr. Rost, “You have not been ‘fired’ but rather asked to refrain from posting as our editorial staff felt that your recent blogs were not in line with the mission of our site.” HuffPo added, “This was not an Arianna call.

 Blogcritics.org: The Huffington Post; The Huff Review
Knowing that Arianna Huffington's new venture, Huffingtonpost.com, already discussed in at least two posts here, is fundamentally a left-wing or liberal site by it's nature, I was predisposed to want to like it.
But there was, in the publicity leading up to this launch, the sense that Huffington was touting this venture as something new under the sun, fascinating because celebrities, hopefully with some mad writing skillz, were going to rock the blogosphere, the internet, with their blogging fire.
The Huffington Post blog is now open for comments - not the fast and furious flood, yet, except on a few posts.

 marccooper: Huffington Post-ing
Arianna Huffington-- my pal and co-conspirator in many mad projects--has got her new meta-Huffington Post up and running as of midnight Sunday.
Without those, it's just one more example of the rich and famous getting to superficially "blog" out their opinions to the world, without having to deal with immediate reader criticism/fact-checking/ follow-up questions and the blogger's subsequent responses to them-- the dynamic which is *essential* to the medium.
At the end of the day, The Huffington Post is all about TMS trying to increase newspaper readership -- and Arianna is aiding and abetting with her 250+ roster of "celebrity" bloggers who can't wait to see their names in syndication.

 The Huffington Post | MetaFilter
What is interesting about Huffington is that 10+ years ago, she was a loud-mouthed conservative, but somewhere along the line she did an about-face.
Huffington is a reflection of this hero-worship and the fact that the celebrities themselves feel more important than they actually are.
Perhaps Huffington is no longer a card-carrying progressive but now a conservative mole.....Still, the celebs aren’t to blame here, because they made the bad mistake of allowing Arianna to sweet-talk them into believing that they had something to say in the first place.

 Galley Slaves: The Huffington Post
Welcome to The Huffington Post, the new blog/news portal run by my old friends Arianna Huffington and Andrew Breitbart.
Most of the attention this new project is going to receive will be focused on its monstrous blog, but in the long run, I suspect that the Huffington Post may come to be valued as much for its function as a news aggregator.
Breitbart is a genius and the Huffington Post could well become the new Drudge Report.

 Arianna Bests Drudge? | Kara Swisher | BoomTown | AllThingsD
According to data from Nielsen Online, for example, the Huffington Post’s traffic–as measured by monthly unique visitors in the U.S., at home and work–has more than tripled since February of 2007, when it had about 1.1 million unique visitors; by February of 2008, unique visitors had risen to 3.7 million.
The Huffington Post jumped from 457,000 unique visitors in the U.S. at all locations, but had risen to 2.3 million in February of 2008.
Sources at the Huffington Post, for example, said that logs show 12 million uniques for the last month, which they attribute to the addition of new vertical sites within the main site, as well as an increased interest in political news and analysis.

 HUFFINGTON POST: Huffpo's surprising San Francisco hire - Valleywag
The Huffington Post says it is hiring experienced reporters, to produce more original stories, rather than rely on unpaid bloggers as much as it has.
Huffpo, one of the most successful internet launches of last year, was founded by Arianna Huffington, who ran twice for Governor of California, once behind her shell of a husband, once on her own behalf.
In 1994 Michael Huffington ran against Diane Feinstein for a seat in the US Senate, not for Governor of California.

 Wired News: Arianna Learns to Love the Blog
Last May, when I first heard that Arianna Huffington planned to launch a blog and news site, I glibly predicted she would attract as much traffic as she did votes for California governor (she ended up dropping out of the 2003 recall election that Arnold Schwarzenegger went on to win).
Here's what Huffington had to say about the emergence of citizen journalism, the failures of the mainstream media, White House spin and the impact that the 24-hour cycle of blogging has had on her personal life.
Huffington: The unquestioning regurgitation of administration spin through the use of anonymous sources is the fault line of modern American journalism.

 The Huffington Post: A Preliminary Assessment » Outside The Beltway | OTB
Blog mistress is only the latest incarnation for Huffington, who has been a Republican activist (as a GOP congressman’s wife), Democratic activist (she backed John Kerry), Comedy Central bedmate of Al Franken, syndicated columnist, author, anti-SUV crusader and gadfly candidate for California governor (she got 0.6 percent of the vote after a last-minute pullout).
Huffington insists her effort isn’t just about the boldface names; she’s lined up some college kids and a friend’s 11-year-old daughter.
Her blogroll (as fascinating for its inclusions as its omissions, ahem!) sends a signal that she wants to be taken seriously as a blogger and that she wants the right side of the blogosphere to pay attention.

 PunditGuy: Huffington Post is a Fraud
In a recent “post” on Arianna Huffington’s “blog”, Actor George Clooney outed himself as a pure bred liberal and had other colorful things to'say about his'fellow Democrats.
He didn’t write the post'at all.'A publicist'was handed a sample of a blog article written by someone working with'the'Huffington Post and was asked if they could get it to Clooney so he could rewrite the thing in his own words.
A few days later the publicist'OK’d the'sample, and Huffington published it as if it was written by Clooney.'This would be no big deal if the post read'something like, “George Clooney was interviewed recently and'said…” But it wasn’t published that way.

This post details a soon-to-be released book, Secrets of the Kingdom, and NSA files on an in-place Saudi scorched-earth policy, including dirty bombs, that will be executed under orders from the House of Saud, presumably in the event of a rebellion, or invasion.
Other current posts include a commentary by Arthur Schlesinger on the Yalta conference in 1945, decrying an opinion by President Bush that Yalta was "one of the greatest wrongs of history", Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Elaine Benes) on marriage troubles, and John Cusack's notes on Hunter S.
What Arianna Huffington's bizarre guru-cult association, 180-degree conservative-to-liberal conversion, and failed run in the California gubernatorial-recall race couldn't accomplish, her blog has now done: She is finally played out publicly.
