“Liberal Conspiracy is the UK’s most popular left-of-centre politics blog.”

uhoh…. big money crushes you… how ironic.

Just what we need: another outlet for woo.

(For those not in the know, HuffPo provides a major platform for Deepak Chopra and the anti-vaccine movement)

Actually I’m looking forward to them. They’re an aggregator and link a lot to other left blogs.

Obviously I’d prefer a big money aggregator to link across the spectrum (it is always good to know what everyone thinks, because almost everyone has a useful perspective at times), but anything that makes finding information and opinion easier (and which threatens the existing media structures) has to be good.

Equally obviously, I’ll be happily hoping for something new to come along and threaten the British Huffington Post as part of the exisitng media structure of tomorrow very soon…

Does this mean that they’ll expect UK writers to work for nothing as well?

After what happened to Compuserve under AOL ownership, I’m not reassured by the prospect.

That is what happened on Compuserve when AOL took it over.

I wonder if anyone would write for them for nothing. Anyone here like to contribute their work to AOL’s bottom line?

Most young writers do a substantial amount of their work for nothing now. When I did, way back in the mid-90s, it was because the mag was run by mates and they couldn’t afford to pay. Now people do it for huge companies dangling the carrot of ‘exposure’.
