I am a news hound. Any hour that I spend without a constant flow of information, analysis, and prediction is an hour I spend nervous and feeling well out of the loop. Because of this, I have a nasty habit of reading every last bit of news I can find as often as I can find it. This can end up being more than 20 times daily. As I mentioned previously, I have a bit of a habit.

For this reason, among many others, I love The Huffington Post. Part news aggregator, part liberal blog, part celebrity guest analysis, Huff Post is the go-to place for the nitty-gritty dirt on politics, the media, entertainment, and world news. When news is breaking, they follow the story intently. When there is footage to see, they stream it live.

As the newspaper industry begins to look for ways to rebound from their impressive fall, they can do much worse than taking a page from The Huffington Post's playbook. It is constantly engaging and at times infuriating. Most of all, it is an accurate portrayal of the day's events in almost real time.
