ABOUT CLICKED

The modern news consumer ignores Weblogs and online citizen journalism at his own peril. But not everyone has the time to keep track of what's going on the Web. With this blog we hope to track the highlights of what's being discussed online so when news breaks from the Web, we're ready.

Will Femia is a Weblog enthusiast who, through good fortune and dumb luck, was introduced to the form as his position as chat producer for MSNBC.com careered into obsolescence. On any given day, Will can be found having already spent an unhealthy amount of time squinting at a computer screen.

Voices in my head: Arianna Huffington

Posted: Monday, May 21, 2007 2:41 PM by Will Femia

As I mentioned last week, I got to talk with Arianna Huffington on the phone today about her new book "On Becoming Fearless."  It probably won't come as a surprise to hear that she's pretty easy to talk to.  She's not exactly a media newbie. It sounds like I gave her a huge softball in asking about the Huffington Post's plans for the election but honestly I was expecting her to talk about online activism and I definitely didn't think she'd have that whole answer so well prepared.

I'm feeling out the idea of putting this interview series under the banner of "Voices in my Head."  This one is the first time I've put it in the intro so let me know if you think it works.  I had considered "Will calls people on the phone" which works well with "This is what I clicked" in its obviousness, but the Voices name is growing on me.

How about "This is who I called"

... Ghostbusters! Yes, yes, perhaps I'm showing my age and my IQ there but I couldn't resist. And I waited a whole five minutes before typing this out. 8^) (emoticon smiley) I like the "This is who I called." or perhaps "Voices on the phone."

There's also a great song by Stephen Lynch called "Voices in my Head" on his "Craig Machine" album. It may not be the most appropriate of songs (Then again, what of Stephen Lynch's work is?) but it's quite funny. So every time I see your title, I think of that song.
