      <![CDATA[<p>A couple of weeks ago <a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/002807.php">I began</a> my new life as a full-time freelance Web Analyst and Writer. </p>

<p>One of the things I'll be doing is co-writing a book for <a href="http://www.oreilly.com/">O'Reilly Media</a> on the topic of Web 2.0. I started writing it this week.</p>

<p>I've also just started a <a href="http://www.zdnet.com/">ZDNet</a> blog, called <a href="http://blogs.zdnet.com/web2explorer/">Web 2.0 Explorer</a>. There are two posts up there already, including one I wrote tonight entitled <a href="http://blogs.zdnet.com/web2explorer/?p=5">What is Web 2.0</a>.</p>

<p>With all this Web 2.0 writing I'm doing, you may be wondering what's going to happen to <a href="http://readwriteweb.com">Read/Write Web</a>? Don't worry, my focus here on R/WW will remain on Web 2.0. Indeed I will be doing more detailed analysis and theory posts on the topic. There'll be more deep thinking and I'll be blogging ideas that I plan to cover in the book. I've been impressed by Chris Anderson's ability to develop ideas and gather feedback from the blogosphere <a href="http://longtail.typepad.com/the_long_tail/">about The Long Tail</a> for his book, so I'm hoping to do something similar here.</p>

<p>Oh and I have some exciting new features to try out on Read/Write Web. Stay tuned ;-) </p>

<p>So, over the coming months I'll be drilling down into Web 2.0 on R/WW, in a book, and on my new <a href="http://blogs.zdnet.com/web2explorer/">ZDNet blog</a>. The next step is probably to get a Web 2.0 tattoo.</p>]]>

Congrats on hitting the ground running, and writing, as a freelance. Congrats in particular on the book deal. Will you be posting drafts online, a la Red Couch?</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Andrew C, the main difference is that I'll be blogging twice as much about Web 2.0 ;-) The ZDNet blog is a paid gig and now that I'm freelance it makes up part of my income. So I have more time for blogging.</p>

<p>Apart from that, as I mentioned in this post I plan to do more ideas-based and analysis posts on R/WW - in some ways returning to my blogging roots, because I started out doing that back in April 2003.</p>

<p>Andrew W, I probably won't post drafts online. But I will certainly be posting about the ideas and themes I'm writing about in the book.</p>]]>
