Weekly Wrapup: Best Web Products 2009, Part 1
In this edition of the Weekly Wrapup – the first and still the best weekly newsletter for tech news and reviews – we present our end-of-year series profiling the best web products of 2009. We tell you our picks for Best Mobile Apps, Best Consumer Apps, Best Semantic Web Apps, and more. Also in this weekly wrapup, we take a look at Facebook’s new privacy controls, and ask whether Google and Yahoo! are giving away too much control over user identities to Facebook and Twitter. As well, we check in on our two main channels: ReadWriteEnterprise (devoted to ‘enterprise 2.0′ trends and products) and ReadWriteStart (dedicated to profiling startups and entrepreneurs).
Plus: this week we released our new premium report, about the Real-Time Web!

This week, we launched our newest premium report: The Real-Time Web and its Future. To create this report, we conducted interviews with 50 companies and individuals that drive innovation in real-time technology. The first copies of the report went out on Monday, and here’s what some of the first readers had to say about it:
“The report is excellent – a great synthesis of why the real time web is different, what changes, what doesn’t and what the industry needs to do in order to press forward.”
- John Borthwick, CEO, Betaworks
“It blew our minds… inspiring.”
- Favit
“Recommended.”
-Hewlett-Packard Official News
“Fresh… Great information. Not the same old same old stories that we’ve all heard.”
- C.C. Chapman
“…all there is to know”
- The Next Web
We’re flattered by the initial praise, and we hope you’ll check out the report for yourself! Take a look at the Table of Contents and this sample chapter, and keep an eye out for the 2-report package that allows you to save money on previous reports when you buy our latest installment.
