# Marshall Kirkpatrick Joins RWW as VP Content Development

![](https://web.archive.org/web/20081226012942im_/http://www.readwriteweb.com/images/marshall_rww.jpg)I’m very pleased to announce that Marshall Kirkpatrick has joined ReadWriteWeb in a full-time capacity, as our new **Vice President of Content Development**. The grand title reflects Marshall’s senior position within ReadWriteWeb, where he will be responsible for driving a lot of our upcoming content developments. These include premium content, publishing system enhancements, and more magic things. Marshall will also continue to be ReadWriteWeb’s **Lead Writer**, so don’t worry his writing isn’t taking a backseat at all. He will be going full-time at RWW sometime over the next couple of weeks.

Since starting with us as Lead Writer [back in September ’07](https://web.archive.org/web/20081226012942/http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/marshall_kirkpatrick_joins_readwriteweb.php), Marshall has helped ReadWriteWeb become the 9th most linked to blog in the world (according [to Technorati](https://web.archive.org/web/20081226012942/http://www.technorati.com/pop/blogs/)). With Marshall on board full-time, I’m excited about RWW continuing its strong growth and rocking the tech news world even more!
