HuffPo Launches Twitter Edition

By Jeralyn

Huffington Post has launched a Twitter edition for 19 of its sections. Here's the politics section. It's not just a twitter feed. It's got articles with photos at the top and then sections of twitterers divided by categories (e.g., reporters in one, pundits in another) and then a section "What's Hot on Twitter" also with graphics. For breaking news, I love it. Fewer clicks than using Twitter itself, and you can really see what's happening right now.

On Twitter itself, there's too many people jut tweeting a headline and unless you click through, you don't know that. This way you can get to the actual news and updates much faster (as well as what people are saying about it, which isn't as interesting to me as the news itself.)

Nice work, Huffpo.
