arianna huffington is my new boss
i made the "risky" leap to full-time online journalism -- with aol canada -- about two months ago. many a person told me the place to be was not with a "portal site." they definitely warned me against joining a company like aol -- people couldn't believe the family of websites could stage a comeback to dominate online content (as was the company's plan).
obviously, i didn't listen.
the energy of the toronto office, the chance to work with amazing people and the job opportunities available were things i couldn't ignore. they were also reasons i firmly believed aol would "beat the internet."
today, aol took a major step in that direction by acquiring one of my favourite news sites, the huffington post.
and, as part of the merger, my new boss is a woman i've admired -- for her work ethic, strong spirit and love of life -- for several years, arianna huffington.
how's that for a reminder to always follow your gut instincts instead of what other people tell you to do?
(ps: the images above are some of aol's fun new logos! which one's your favourite?)
