ReadWrite (originally ReadWriteWeb or RWW) is a Web technology blog launched in 2003, covering Web 2.0 and Web technology in general, and providing industry news, reviews, and analysis. Founded by Richard MacManus,[1] Technorati ranked ReadWriteWeb at number 12 in its list of top 100 blogs worldwide, as of October 9, 2010.[2] MacManus is based in Lower Hutt, New Zealand,[3] but the officers and writers of RW work from diverse locations, including Portland, Oregon.[4] Around September or October 2008, The New York Times technology section began syndicating RW content online.[5][6] RW also has many international channels such as France, Spain, Brazil and China.
RW was acquired by SAY Media in 2011.[7] On October 22, 2012, RWW redesigned its website, rebranded as ReadWrite and hired Daniel Lyons as the new editor-in-chief.[8] Dan Lyons left ReadWrite on March 20, 2013,[9] replaced by Owen Thomas.[10]
SAY Media sold ReadWrite to Wearable World in February 2015.[11] In June 2015, the company announced a crowd funding campaign.[12]
