New Blog
Today is the debut of The Huffington Post, a much-anticipated blog from Arianna Huffington. She's assembled a stable of prominent celebrities and pundits to blog on her site. Many serious bloggers have scoffed, saying celebrities won't have anything useful to say. But everyone wants to see what comes up. Today there are postings from Mike Nichols, John Cusack, Ellen DeGeneres, and several more. Harry Shearer is doing what looks like a regular column, Eat the Press. The front page has additional news and story links, or you can go straight to The Blog.
Followup: The Huffington Post points to a new article in Vanity Fair, Jeff Gannon's Public Blogging, more fodder for those of us who just couldn't get enough of the bizarre Jeff Gannon/JD Guckert story.... posted by liz at 9:54 AM
