The advice of Arianna Huffington to marketers  is to sleep more. Not to embrace social media – to blog regularly or multitask more. Instead, she suggests more shut-eye. I didn’t hear the speech myself but I had to comment on her thoughts detailed in this article by John Obrecht on B2B who details her thoughts on local news and the coverage of Balloon Boy.

Recently, the Huffington Post was purchased by AOL for $315M and is currently embroiled in a lawsuit with a blogger/activist who is seeking class action status and $105M on behalf of more than 9,000 writers and content providers. Arianna Huffington discusses the lawsuit here.
