A rather mixed reception in the blogosphere:

The American Mind: "So far, the weblog posts are typical Lefty junk."

Charmaine Yoest:

"Her blog is a strange disconnect for me: in person, Arianna is strikingly beautiful, quite engaging, and her accent, so distracting on television, is charming. By contrast, the blog, named after her, is strangely none of those things."

Jack Shafer: "Do these people intend to engage? Is it even in their wheelhouse to debate? How will the Huff Post's liberal core react when its right-wing press contributors, such as Byron York and Tony Blankley, bring a hard one down on their snout? Hollywood liberals such as Aaron Sorkin and Laurie David rarely encounter sharp political disagreement inside the cocoons of their Hollywood salons, and when they do it's not generally with a practiced rhetorician."

Nikki Finke pronounces failure after less than 24 hours: "Her blog is such a bomb that it's the box-office equivalent of Gigli, Ishtar and Heaven's Gate rolled into one."

BoifromTroy: "So far, the site has an interesting mix of culture and politics . . . including this take on a 'separated at birth' photo with the same model before and after retouching. Not earth shattering, yet, but strangely compelling."

And there's already a parody site.
