During my trip to SXSW in March 2011, I catch up with a couple of ReadWriteWeb writers — one of them quite angry. Then when I get back home, I start thinking about big changes to our company. I was having a crisis of confidence and wanted to transition out of the CEO role, so that I could focus fully on editorial. https://cybercultural.com/p/058-readwriteweb-ceo-dilemma/ #InternetHistory #Web20
In this instalment of 'Bubble Blog', my Web 2.0 memoir: It's mid-2011 and our writer woes are not getting better. It’s impacting page view numbers and social media referral traffic is also a concern. It prompts me to decide on a drastic strategy shift for ReadWriteWeb. https://cybercultural.com/p/059-editorial-pivot/ #InternetHistory #Web20
Team ReadWriteWeb attends SXSW 2011 in Austin. We host a BBQ for our sponsors, I meet Sarah and Seamus for the first time, and the RWW management team addresses writer concerns. (part 057 of my Web 2.0 memoir) https://cybercultural.com/p/057-sxsw-2011/ #InternetHistory #Web20 #Serialization
In June 2010, I make my first trip to Portland, Oregon, where many of our ReadWriteWeb crew live. On a coworking day at a local cafe, I negotiate a tricky staff problem and also get to know the team better.
