Biz Stone, co-founder of Twitter, is to join the Huffington Post as the new media firm adds big names to its roster following its $315m (£196m) takeover by AOL.

Stone, who will keep his job at Twitter, will act as "strategic adviser for social impact" and will work across the Huffington Post Media Group and the rest of AOL's assets. The company said Stone would be working to develop a platform to help people share their work in their local community. He will also create a video series about people and companies at the "forefront of philanthropy and corporate responsibility".
