A UK version of The Huffington Post has launched with high-profile bloggers: Tony Blair, Ricky Gervais and Tracey Ullman. The Huffington Post UK is edited by Carla Buzasi, EIC, AOL Europe who leads an
initial team of 10 editors and writers, with further support from the wider AOL editorial team in the UK.
In a week when News Corp had to close "News of the World" HuffPo is expanding into its market. The market is transitioning quickly away from what used to work, and toward entirely new ways to succeed. News Corp could have led, with MySpace, but management did not allow MySpace to do what it needed to do in a changing market.
Forbes.com says AOL investors should be pleased with the HuffPo growth - which seems to be fueled with permission to do what's necessary to win, and the resources to get the job done http://onforb.es/rlvyyg
