Huffingtonfox

In yet another example of how The Huffington Post has outpaced The Drudge Report in its implementation of new Web technology, I just now noticed that The Post offers their very own version of the Firefox browser. While Drudge's site still has its quaint appeal, The Post can now pipe their content directly to users even if they're on an entirely different site. It's not much more than a reskin of the traditional Firefox browser with the addition of a news ticker and section shortcuts, but every little bit helps when trying to keep users coming back.

Web 2.0 features are springing up everywhere - even the minimalist Google has now added some wiki functionality to its search results pages. Drudge, it appears, doesn't care to keep up - perhaps his niche is just being someone to take your tips or leaks to.
