ReadWrite is a blog primarily devoted to the culture of collaborative web technology commonly known as Web 2.0.

ReadWrite is among the most influential blogs on the web, particularly in technology circles. The site has a staff of about 15.

The blog was founded in 2003 by New Zealand resident Richard MacManus, who remains its editor. MacManus fully owned the blog until December 2011, when he sold it to SAY Media of San Francisco. He began blogging full-time in 2005. The blog generates revenue through advertising, researched reports and events.

Since 2008, the blog has had a syndication partnership with The New York Times. The site also has editions devoted to France, Spain, Brazil and China, as well as sites dedicated to enterprise, business, startups and cloud computing. ReadWrite has no central office, with employees working from around the world using cloud-based tools.

In October 2012, the site rebranded as ReadWrite from ReadWriteWeb and hired Dan Lyons, best known as “Fake Steve Jobs,” to be its editor-in-chief. Lyons left in March 2013, replaced by Owen Thomas.
