Huffington Post Allows Top Commenters To Become Bloggers

The Huffington Post has unveiled a new comment system that allows top commenters to become featured bloggers on the site, Scott Karp reports.

Here’s how the Huffington Post announced the new system:

The Huffington Post’s community of users has been one of the keys to our site’s success. Since launching in May 2005, we’ve received more than 2.7 million comments, posted by over 115,000 commenters. Our commenters have been active and engaged writers — and now they have the chance to become a featured HuffPost blogger.

Reading through the comments on our site, we realized that our commenters are a tremendous — and underutilized — resource. So we’ve created a process whereby we will choose one commenter a month to become part of our group blog.

Our decision will be based on how many fans a commenter has, how often their comment is selected as a Favorite, and our moderators’ preferences. Every comment now has an “I’m A Fan Of” link and a “Favorite” link, so start voting for the comments and commenters you like best. We will announce the first commenter-turned-HuffPost-blogger in the next few weeks.
