Arianna Huffington’s Salon-style blog site is up and online, with the first posts and comment from her assembled movers and shakers live on the web.
Meanwhile, in looking at this, I remembered what got me interested in Mrs Huffington: an advertising campaign for the Detroit Project, which she was hosting on her site at the time. As a political ad it was aimed at putting pressure on the government and oil companies and car manufacturers to clean up their act and make fuel efficiency a major issue, make it a selling point. Since I’m not in the market for a car, the best I could get out of the news was my full attention for all of Arianna’s forthcoming projects. It worked.
“It is the first car built for the road and the world around it.
It can take America to work in the morning without sending it to war in the afternoon.
With a sophisticated braking system that stops our dependence on foreign oil.
It gets 40 miles to every gallon with thousands of dollars saved at the pump.
The only problem is… Detroit won’t build it.”
