HuffPost Live Sees Modest Growth in September

Co-creator Sekoff focusing on engagement over pageviews

Things have been moving along slowly, but surely, in the two months since Arianna Huffington stared down the camera and welcomed viewers to HuffPost Live, the media group's grand (and expensive) livestreaming, cable TV-replacing network.

At its inception, HuffPost Live was both lauded for its bold reinvention of a tired model and flatly panned by others like Guardian columnist Michael Wolff (a former Adweek editorial director) who dubbed the outfit as "indescribably moronic." Two months in, however, the truth appears to lie someplace in the middle as comScore numbers show a respectable performance out the gate for the fledgling site and a slight increase in unique visitors for the site's second month.
