I covered the launch of Huffington Post when I was writing the Blogometer at National Journal’s Hotline two and a half years ago, and kept a close eye on the development of the site. If you recall, the site was the subject of some some scrutiny and fun-making ahead of its launch. Huffington’s venture survived the early gibes, long enough at least to attract new ones.

I do still care about political news, but I'm so exhausted by the two years of nonstop election coverage that I'm more than happy to limit my news consumption to gadget blogs and sports.

When the "hockey stick" was first reported a few weeks ago, everyone criticized me for asking what was apparently such a blasphemous question. I am convinced no one really understands what the revenue model is ... people just think it's cool. In terms of HuffPo, I'm not sure how they've managed to raise $25mm and I certainly don't see what they've spent in on, but I will be the first one laughing when the shareholders realize their assets in the company are worth very little.

Still it's not at all surprising that HuffPo is down. They so pushed the election and was so slanted towards the Democrats that they failed to take advantage to show everyone what they are capable of and why they should come back. Plus with all their articles not getting on the front page of Digg anymore, they are losing even more people and more importantly, from an SEO point of view, a ton of potential links.

If they have any smart people behind the scenes, they knew this was coming and are not hit by a surprise. I am also glad that it was mentioned that some of the Twitter adjustments may be coming from the growing use of things like TweetDeck, Twhirl, etc. Desktop and mobile apps for Twitter are growing and will probably continue to do so.
