The Huffington Post I haven't had a chance to really delve into The Huffington Post, but thus far I'm unimpressed. It practically screams, "We're like Drudge, but different and better! Well... different anyway!" Frankly, I don't much care about what Ellen Degen...

I just read through the first few posts and I like it. A lot. Corzine had an interesting post. So did Julia Louise Dryfus and her husband, so did Larry David so did (gasp) Ellen DeGeneres. I agree: with 300 people, you have the luxury of waiting to post and that will help. It's been added to by bookmarks.

The Huffington Post - Day One Review
Arianna Huffington's much ballyhooed The Huffington Post (to be know hereafter as THP) opened it's doors today to great fanfare, (front page of the Style section in The Washington Post) and scads of accumulated posts from the hundreds of contributors...

Well, from what I've read of Walter Cronkite lately, I'd take the murmurings of an 11 year old juvenile delinquent any day. The "Huffs" blog does reek of Castro's 40 year old speeches, packaged in the current jargon. Everything is Bush's fault (i.e. the USA) and conservatives eat babies. They ought to rename it as "The Liberal Meltdown". The whining is unbearable! What a hoot!

Blog America I'll weigh in. I noticed Instapundit, John Cole and James Joyner taking note of it this morningâreactions seem to be mixed, falling to the side of "ok, now what?"

Dazzle, Yes. But Can They Blog?
Has any blog, left or right, ever gotten so much hype before it ever launched?

Is it just me, or is the site missing author-specific archives? If I want to follow just David Frum, for instance, there doesn't seem to be an evident way to do that.

The biggest issue to me is whether or not this new blog is absorbed into the liberal cocoon; that Wonderland where Bush is a liar, every Bush administration move in Iraq and in the GWOT is a mistake or a disaster, and historic facts that do not support current liberal positions simply disappear.

James,

You're right, the blog doesn't appear to have trackbacks. But the news stories (or at least some of them, like today's piece on Saudi Arabia) do. Strange . . . but I'm sure they have their reasons.
