Huff Post The New USA Today

We have made a few trips out to USA Today HQ and its an impressive place, but it feels like yesteryear there. We'd be much more comfortable at Huffington Post which is building the newspaper of tomorrow.

HuffPost is a politically liberal online news website and aggregated blog founded by Arianna Huffington and Kenneth Lerer. The Huffington Post was launched on May 2005. In August 2006, it was announced that Softbank Capital would invest $5M. Today the company announced that it had raised an additional $5M. USA Today reports that HuffPost's staff has grown from three to 43 full-time employees and its roster of bloggers has grown to 1,800.
