'The Huffington Post Rebellion'

Some of the “HuffPost family” are revolting and their battlecry/hashtag is #huffpuff.

In the wake of the announcement that AOL bought Huffington Post, the people from their online community are incensed. One of their grievances is Huffington Post utilized free content provided by “independent journalists” and when editor-in-chief Arianna Huffington cashed in to the tune of $315 million, the bloggers were not considered any compensation.

Some bloggers have told FishbowlLA, they will just no longer post. Others have reported deleting their accounts.
