A timely week for the Huffington Post to launch mobile

In all the election excitement, this nearly got missed but the Huffington Post went mobile this week.

Media Bistro originally reported:

“HuffPost Mobile’s election coverage includes top news stories, election results and featured blog posts. Other non-election content includes pieces from HuffPost‘s various sections like green, living, entertainment, media and style.”

It’s powered by Crisp Wireless and the two partners will now be looking to gain advertising revenue through the service, Media Bistro reports.

New York Times T Magazine online offering

Just a quick follow up to the story we carried last week about the launch online of New York Times style rag – T magazine.

The online offering is very swish and flash-dominated – plenty of video, very little text – with content divided along peculiarly linear lines; the words, the images, the goods, the remix (whatever this is?), the videos.

Gawker and Media Bistro have already reviewed the site, focusing mainly on the dominance of Natalie Portman over the launch pages. It’s a bit of a statement really, sort of ‘this is the kind of intelligent celeb we’ll favour’

Well, here she is in all her intelligent celeb glory:
