# Thanks Sponsors

A quick thanks to our readers and sponsors, for supporting Read/WriteWeb’s mission to deliver in-depth news and analysis on Web Technology. Also of course thanks to our excellent writers!

Our sponsors are:

[Wild Apricot](https://web.archive.org/web/20090710234901/http://www.wildapricot.com/?utm_campaign=readwriteweb) offers web 2.0 products for non-profits – one of their largest user segments is professional associations. Probably the most popular area of functionality in Wild Apricot is the online member database.

[Zoho](https://web.archive.org/web/20090710234901/http://zoho.com/) is a leading Web Office suite, which recently added a Web Conferencing application called [Zoho Meeting](https://web.archive.org/web/20090710234901/http://blogs.zoho.com/announcements/announcing-zoho-meeting/) to their excellent range of office products.

[Userplane](https://web.archive.org/web/20090710234901/http://subtracts.userplane.com/mmm/adclick.php?n=a0e73df0) is the premier provider of communication software for online communities. It is now part of the AOL network.

[Compete](https://web.archive.org/web/20090710234901/http://snapshot.compete.com/flickr.com+photobucket.com+webshots.com?src=rww001) is more than just a statistics service to rival Alexa; Compete also provides search, analytics, shopping deals, and a personalized homepage.

[BlogRovr](https://web.archive.org/web/20090710234901/http://www.blogrovr.com/feed/?via=readwriteweb&feed.url=http://feeds.feedburner.com/readwriteweb) is a download plugin for Firefox 2.0, which ‘fetches’ related blog stories for you as you surf the Web. BlogRovr is complementary to RSS Readers, because it allows you to track your favorite blogs while you are browsing.

[DesktopOnDemand](https://web.archive.org/web/20090710234901/http://desktopondemand.com/) is a free “online desktop service” that lets you access your desktop remotely. DOD comes with 1GB of free disk space, with extra space available for a fee.

[Eurekster](https://web.archive.org/web/20090710234901/http://swicki.eurekster.com/) is an innovative kiwi startup that provides the community powered search box on Read/WriteWeb. It is a search engine that learns from the community’s search behavior, so it gets better the more you use it.

Also I want to mention [Federated Media Publishing](https://web.archive.org/web/20090710234901/http://federatedmedia.net/)‘s latest CPM campaigns running on this site, which are quite innovative – e.g. the Hakia one (“Richard MacManus on the search for better search…”).

Finally, check out [Read/WriteWeb’s Job Board](https://web.archive.org/web/20090710234901/http://jobs.readwriteweb.com/) (in partnership with VentureBeat and Alarm:Clock and run by JobThread). Just this week, Rearden Commerce posted 7 great new jobs – among other positions, they’re looking for an [Engineering Program Manager](https://web.archive.org/web/20090710234901/http://jobs.readwriteweb.com/job/61f2aefd319cab741d7b5da23327667e/?d=1) and a [Sr. Software Engineer, Platform](https://web.archive.org/web/20090710234901/http://jobs.readwriteweb.com/job/46ee77aec1dcae8d96d3fa070ac0b331/?d=1).
