One thing that stuck with me was the lack of correlation between brand and content--if I input 'conservative values' into a search, 'Culture 11' would likely not be a top return. That was just one observation of several. There seemed also to be a lack of cohesiveness. HuffPo succeeds with the backing of super influencers like Google and backers with capital. That the site content is often featured as Google News rather than commentary should be worrisome to anyone who works in media. best, Kay B. Day Sorry to hear the venture didn’t pan out–I did read the content there for awhile. One thing that stuck with me was the lack of correlation between brand and content–if I input ‘conservative values’ into a search, ‘Culture 11′ would likely not be a top return. That was just one observation of several. There seemed also to be a lack of cohesiveness.
