As you may have read in Monday's New York Times, my partner, Kenny Lerer, and I are about to launch The Huffington Post, a new internet publishing venture. This site will combine a breaking news section, a section on the media called “Eat the Press”, and an innovative group blog where some of this country's most creative minds will weigh in on topics great and small, political and cultural, important or just plain entertaining.

Picture a nonstop, ever-changing group conversation with input from 100 of the most interesting people from the worlds of politics, entertainment, business, and publishing -- a place where some of the
best minds and most creative thinkers in America can inform, rant, provoke, comment on, and link to whatever strikes them as worth a look.

A number of people have already agreed to become a part of our group blog, including Larry David, Tom Freston, Vernon Jordan, David Geffen, Nora Ephron, Bobby Kennedy Jr., Tina Brown, John Cusack, Gary Hart, Mike Nichols, Rob Reiner, David Mamet, Arthur Schlesinger, Norman Lear, George Wolfe, Bill Maher, Jann Wenner, Laurie David, Cory Booker, Jim Wiatt, Haim Saban, Walter Cronkite, Albert Brooks, Paul Goldberger, Harry Evans, Liev Schreiber, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, David O. Russell, Barry Diller, Tavis Smiley, Ari Emanuel, Paul Reiser, Adam McKay, Brian Grazer, Mort Zuckerman, Brad Hall, Prof. Alex Keyssar, Dr. Dean Ornish, and Sen. Jon Corzine.

I gotta hand it to Arianna - her way of keeping on moving and playing with the times and her role in it has got style, and she's no dummy...
