Foreword
When I founded ReadWriteWeb[1] back in April 2003, a tech news and analysis blog that is now one of the world’s top 10 blogs,[2] my goal was to explore the current era of the web. The year 2003 was a time when the effects of the dot-com meltdown were still being felt, yet there was something new stirring on the web, too. I christened my new blog Read/Write Web (the slash and space have since been dropped) because this new era of the web seemed to embody the notion that Tim Berners-Lee had when he invented the web—that it ought to be editable by anyone and that everyone contributes in some way to the web’s data.
