Various components of the newborn Huffington Post Media Group.

When I got the email to my inbox this morning, I hit to say, I was a little shocked.  ”The Huffington Post has been acquired by AOL, instantly creating one of the biggest media companies in the world, with global, national, and topical accomplish — combine example reporting, opinion, video, ethnic contact and community, and leveraged crossways every platform, including the web, mobile, and tablets.”  It was subscribed by Arianna and the rest of the journal team (I’ve contributed various pieces to the site over the years) and mentioned that Arianna herself “will become editor-in-chief not only of HuffPost but of the newborn bacilliform Huffington Post Media Group, which module allow every of AOL’s noesis sites, including Patch, Engadget, TechCrunch, Moviefone, PopEater, MapQuest and Black Voices.”

Other noesis sites separate by AOL allow Lemondrop, Urlesque, StyleList, WalletPop, PopEater and ParentDish, to study a few.  Arianna wrote most the integration on HuffPo today, saying, “Tim Armstrong (AOL Chairman and CEO)… had something he desired to handle with me… We arranged to hit lunch at my bag in LA after that week…. Tim said he desired to buy The Huffington Post and put every of AOL’s noesis low a newborn bacilliform Huffington Post Media Group, with me as its president and editor-in-chief.”  They quickly drew up a care and subscribed it yesterday – at the Super Bowl.

Some strength worry that this effectuation AOL’s blogs module be producing caretaker left-leaning content, but according to Arianna, the newborn Huffington Post Media Group sites module maintain a “commitment to example example reporting and beyond-left-and-right commentary.”  She says the integration of AOL’s noesis and The Huffington Post “will hit a multiplier effect.  Or, as Tim and I hit been locution over the last couple of weeks: 1 + 1 = 11.”

What do you think?  It’ll be engrossing to wager how the AOL branded sites acquire and modify over the incoming some months.  In the meantime, don’t block to marker our breaking news page to wager across-the-board Babble viewpoints on the real-time issues of the day.
