The Huffington Post has created its own version of the BBC’s topic pages – HuffPost Big News Pages.
The pages will aggregate a mixture of HuffPost content alongside Digg and del.icio.us links, posts from other bloggers and relevant Twitter conversations.
There are 75 so far, but more will be added to meet reader demand, the site says.
The Huffington Post is to expand its coverage to local news in the US.
The plans will start with a site for Chicago, aggregating news from different local sources and with contributions from local bloggers. The site will be overseen by one editor.
Ariana Huffington said yesterday around a dozen US cities would feature in the expansion plans.
