ReadWrite (originally ReadWriteWeb or RWW) is a Web technology blog launched in 2003. RW covers Web 2.0 and Web technology in general, and provides industry news, reviews, and analysis. Founded by Richard MacManus,[2] Technorati ranked ReadWriteWeb at number 12 in its list of top 100 blogs worldwide, as of October 9, 2010.[3] RW was ranked #10 in the Techmeme leaderboards as of October 9, 2010.[4] MacManus is based in Lower Hutt, New Zealand,[5] but the officers and writers of RW work from diverse locations, including Portland, Oregon.[6] Around September or October 2008, the New York Times technology section began syndicating RW content online.[7][8] RW also has many international channels such as France, Spain, Brazil, and China.

RW was acquired by SAY Media in 2011.[9]

On October 22, 2012, RWW redesigned their website, rebranded as ReadWrite & hired Daniel Lyons as the new editor-in-chief.[10] Dan Lyons has since left ReadWrite on March 20th, 2013.[11]
