# Thanks Sponsors & Readers

We interrupt this broadcast to thank our sponsors for supporting ReadWriteWeb. We have a great line-up of sponsors, all supporting RWW’s mission to provide **in-depth coverage of Web Technology trends and products**.

Of course we’re also thankful for a passionate and smart reader base. We’ve made improvements to our commenting system over the past month, so we hope you’re noticing a faster system. And yes, OpenID *is* coming 😉
