Arianna Huffington On BBC Breakfast

Arianna Huffington spoke to Simon Jack on "BBC Breakfast" about the launch of HuffPost U.K. She told him, "We're very excited to be joining a really thriving culture... and to bring the signature part of The Huffington Post, which is really engagement, as well as original reporting, aggregation, and thousands of blogs."

When asked how the site will translate to the U.K., Huffington explained, ''Everything we do here is going to be from a British perspective, with a great British team. We're offering a platform for anybody here who has an interesting idea -- who is well-known or not well-known -- to write about it."

The more objective reporting of world events is a good thing whether agreeable or not always good to get other views to draw your own conclusions!

Still needs some tweaking for cross-board articles - the separate login for articles posted to the US board for promotion is a little tedious.

French news are so boring, there isn't enough stuff going on here for this to happen. In 2011 we had 2 things : DSK and the French president getting assaulted last week.

France24 has had better coverage of recent stories in Africa and Syria than American outlets.

Odder still, I found earlier I was trying to use the UK one and kept ending up on the US one.

Why do we have to connect seperately to the UK and Canadian versions? UK and Canadian articles appear on the Front Page, but I'm not allowed to post.
