Richard MacManus http://www.readwriteweb.com Thank you to our sponsors, for supporting Read/WriteWeb's mission to provide quality and original news and analysis about Web Technology. We make it a point to always write thoughtful posts - you may not agree with all of what we write, but you have to admit we are contributing something unique to the blogosphere.

I want to make one thing clear. One thing we don't do - and will never do - is copy and paste PR news from emails and crank out 20 such "posts" per day. Some other blogs seem to think that is the formula for success. To my mind, it just pollutes the blogosphere and clogs up peoples RSS Readers. I don't like it one bit, and you have my word that Read/WriteWeb will never stoop to that level of "news reporting". We will always write original and thoughtful content. What's more, we always test out the web products we write about.

(Yes, that was a bit of a rant from the Editor!)

Needless to say, Read/WriteWeb is continuing to grow - and keep an eye out for some more news on that front, first thing Monday morning PST...Here now are links to our sponsors. And ok, what follows is PR - but then the headline of this post clearly identifies that and it's not masquerading as news :-)

I believe that there is a bigger value is in analysis of trends and provoking discussions. News itself is just the beginning of the thought and not the end!

Plus if you are a web 2.0 company looking for exposure on other sites then be prepared to buried among 15 - 20 posts per day. Your time on the front page will be about 1.5 minutes.

If you want real exposure and analysis come to RWW.
