    Huffington Post Complete Guide to Blogging

     

    Adrianna Huffington was on the Today Show last night and then just a little while ago  on Rick Sanchez's show. Her new book was just published. She says that it's a good thing for people out of work to blog. It's cathartic! I do feel it can be, but sure detracts from the job search effort. lol!

     

    Here's for a review:

     

    The Huffington Post Complete Guide to Blogging is the new book describing how "the two worlds" of new media and traditional media are joining together and "bringing out the best in each other" by Arianna Huffington.

     

     

    The two realms are mixing, Huffington said in an interview with Reuters, with traditional journalists blogging, and bloggers gaining "credibility and stature" in traditional media.

     

     

    The book is in effect a "blogging guide," offering tips on how to get started and Huffington's point of view. She has created "one of the most influential websites" of the 2008 presidential election, and her product is only gaining prominence in the news industry.

     

     

    Huffington writes in the book's introduction that blogging "has been the greatest breakthrough in popular journalism since Tom Paine," whose 1776 pamphlet "Common Sense" helped to incite the movement for American independence.
