The Huffington Post was named the world's most powerful blog by The Observer in 2008 and in 2009, co-founder Arianna Huffington was 12th in the Forbes' Most Influential Women in Media list. The sterling reputation and popularity of the site convinced AOL to fork out $315 million to acquire it in April 2011, once again typifying America in the capitalism and consumerism behind the purchase.
