Perhaps life would be better if I got a job at one of the best San Diego Restaurants. But then agan, probably not.
From the NY Post “Buck$ for Blog Softbank Puts $5M in Huff Post”:
August 7, 2006 — A group led by venture capital firm Softbank is investing $5 million in the Huffington Post, an online news site and political blog owned by the pundit Arianna Huffington, The Post has learned.The investment comes a little over a year after the launch of the Huffington Post - which then was billed as a celebrity-filled blog but has since evolved in to its own news brand.
An announcement of the investment could come as soon as today.
In addition to Softbank, venture capitalist Alan Patricof is also investing in the site, as well as some of the initial investors. Huffington and former Time Warner executive Ken Lerer founded the site.
