Richard MacManus, founder of the tech blog ReadWriteWeb is parting ways with the publication. Mr. MacManus founded ReadWriteWeb in April 2003, from his home in New Zealand.  The blog was acquired by Say Media in December last year.

Mr. MacManus says he will be taking a break from the blogging world to write a literary non-fiction, and will be announcing the subject of the book soon. The book is expected to focus on technology, and the people who use the technology and benefit from it.
