Created in 2005 as the liberal alternative to news aggregators like The Drudge Report, The Huffington Post continues to be one of the go-to news blogs for users of all political affiliations. This is in no small part due to the site's continued dedication to securing high-profile columnists and enticing interface tools. Though, to be honest, I just like getting profile badges. The Huffington Post has managed to be a platform for some of the biggest voices in left-wing politics, including President Barack Obama himself. Also, it is the first news site of its kind to win a Pulitzer Prize. Of course, The Huffington Post has its own share of problems. The site has had to deal with controversies related to blogger compensation and published works that err on the side of pseudo science. Regardless, the site has maintained its huge popularity and was even acquired by AOL in 2011. Why It's Going To Rule... Part of what makes the Huffington Post so ubiquitous among trending article feeds is its commitment to establishing a global foothold. The website has created various international editions that include the Canada, Spain, Germany and more. Their goal is to make sure that it is prominent at least somewhere, no matter what the future holds for their large presence in America and Europe.
