HuffPost Works the Twitter Crowd -- Literally

In what its founder called an “experiment,” the popular liberal blog Huffington Post put out a call Thursday on Twitter for readers to suggest headlines.

Blog founder Arianna Huffington explains:

The HuffPost community has been growing by leaps and bounds. Last month, we attracted close to 2 million comments. Yesterday delivered a one-day high, with 94,215 comments.

So we decided to see if we could get our users even more involved in the editorial process by using Twitter to crowdsource headline suggestions.
