# Site News

I’m pleased to announce the first [Read/Write Web](https://web.archive.org/web/20060508061310/http://www.readwriteweb.com/) sponsor: [ThePort Network](https://web.archive.org/web/20060508061310/http://theport.com/). They will be sponsoring my [Web 2.0 Weekly Wrap-Up](https://web.archive.org/web/20060508061310/http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/002692.php) for the next 3 months, which I’m thrilled about! ThePort Network has an exciting Web 2.0 product that is currently in the process of being launched. I’ve had a walk-through of it and I was very impressed!

In other news, tomorrow morning I’ll be launching a **new feature on Read/Write Web** which I think you’ll enjoy. I’m also running on a stricter publishing timetable now. I’m aiming to publish all my Web 2.0 news and views posts to coincide with breakfast time in the United States (where most of readers come from, I think). This generally means publishing at 10-11pm New Zealand time so as to catch the early bird on that same day in the States – in a sense I’m a day ahead of most of you 😉

One last thing for now. I’m still looking for sponsors for the rest of Read/Write Web (including the new feature I’m about to launch). So feel free to [email me](https://web.archive.org/web/20060508061310/mailto:readwriteweb@gmail.com) if you’d like to know more.
