The Huufington Post is Up and Running.--

When the Huffington Post was first announced, I [1]noted that, while
people were focusing on the celebrity group blog, the Drudge-like news
service might be the most important driver of eyeballs:
Aha! So someone who is not well known (or, more precisely, is about
as well known as a lot of prominent non-celebrity bloggers), Andrew
Breitbart, may be writing a news service to compete with Drudge.
That is at least a plausible hook--someone with web expertise but
without a famous name might provide important content.
Glancing through the debut edition of the Huffington Post, the news
service seems to be a big part of the affair.
More comments from [2]Howard Kurtz and [3]Reynolds.
