# WebbAlert: Read/WriteWeb on TV

A new online video show about web technology debuted this week, called [WebbAlert](https://web.archive.org/web/20120302144217/http://www.webbalert.com/). It is already [making some waves](https://web.archive.org/web/20120302144217/http://www.techmeme.com/070803/p56#a070803p56) in the blogosphere. Hosted by Morgan Webb, it’s a daily 5-minute show on the latest web tech news. I watched the debut episode yesterday and immediately added the RSS feed to my start page. Then today a couple of people pinged me to say that Read/WriteWeb got a mention, so obviously I tuned in to watch that.

There seems to be another one of these weekend blog brouhahas brewing about disclosure on the show, as FM Publishing is its advertising partner and a number of FM clients are mentioned on the show. All I can say on that is that yes, I am an FM Publishing client too; but no, I wasn’t asked to plug the show. I would think the reason R/WW got a mention is that we are a top web technology blog. Anyway I am thrilled to see R/WW on online TV and so that’s why I am mentioning it here :-). No [conspiracy](https://web.archive.org/web/20120302144217/http://www.centernetworks.com/follow-up-federated-medias-network-show-webbalert), but nice work stirring one up Allen ;-). Also I’m pleased that Morgan a) pronounced my name right, and b) said Read/WriteWeb correctly (it is a tongue twister at times!). Here is the latest show:
