Huffington Post Hit With Patch Attack
The first phase of Patch.com’s USA domination (and employee bonus-triggering) plan is complete: the year-end 2010 goal of launching 500 local news websites has been met. In fact, with two weeks still to go in 2010, they’ve already crossed the 600 live-URL threshold.
