We're really excited to announce the official ReadWriteWeb iPhone app! The reading and sharing experience was key for us, so we kept the functionality smart and simple. As well as enabling you to read ReadWriteWeb while on the go or lying on the couch, we've made it easy to share ReadWriteWeb posts directly from your iPhone, on Twitter and Facebook. We've integrated with Read it Later and Instapaper, so that you can mark things to read later. You can also follow the RWW team on Twitter, directly from the app.

We invite you to find out more details about the ReadWriteWeb iPhone app and download it now from iTunes.

I'd like to thank the developer of the app, Nicolas Koenig, who runs an iPhone development shop from the Netherlands called Toopia. Toopia also created the Thermometer iPhone app, which enables your iPhone / iPod touch to get the current temperature based on your location.

I'd also like to thank ReadWriteWeb's Webmaster Jared Smith and Marketing Manager Elyssa Pallai, who both put in a lot of work to develop this app.

So check out the new ReadWriteWeb iPhone app and download it from iTunes. Then tell us what you think!

We're pleased to announce the launch of ReadWriteWeb's third subsite: ReadWriteCloud. This channel will cover Cloud Computing and Virtualization, focusing on the strategic business and technical implications. ReadWriteCloud is sponsored by Intel and VMware.

We've hired a couple of experienced practitioners of cloud computing as our daily writers for ReadWriteCloud. Mike Kirkwood is a seasoned Enterprise Architect from Berkeley and has been a Sr. Manager supporting large consumer applications. Tim Hastings is a hands-on Technical Architect of web services, based in England. In addition, ReadWriteEnterprise editor Alex Williams will oversee the site and be a contributing writer.

ReadWriteCloud aims to combine knowledgeable editorial and active community involvement around virtualization and cloud computing. We hope it will become the best source available for IT managers who want honest discussion and practical solutions on these topics. Its editorial focus is not on specific products - but on ideas, innovative solutions and new ways of thinking for cloud computing and virtualization.

With our two highly experienced topic experts and the editorial hand of Alex Williams, we're sure that ReadWriteCloud will help you gain new levels of efficiency and control over your web-based infrastructure. Check out ReadWriteCloud here.

I'm pleased to announce a new executive appointment to ReadWriteWeb, our new Chief Operating Officer Sean Ammirati.

I'd like to thank our outgoing COO, Bernard Lunn. You will see Bernard's name around in 2010 I'm sure, as he's going to be working on a new startup opportunity.

2009 has been a great year for ReadWriteWeb and in partnership with FM Publishing, we've gained significant revenue growth during this time. So I thank Bernard for driving this for us and we wish him all the best in his future endeavors.

2010 is going to be another big year for ReadWriteWeb, so we're excited to have Sean on board!

We're very pleased to announce the launch of ReadWriteWeb's fourth country channel: ReadWriteWeb Spain. It joins our existing three country channels: France, China and Brazil (which launched last month).

Our Spain channel is edited by Ignacio García Ramos. Ignacio and his team will combine translation of ReadWriteWeb posts with original posts about Spain's Web market. Like the mothership ReadWriteWeb, the Spain channel will focus on Web trends and products.

We're grateful to our partners IntegralCom, a Spanish web agency and consultancy firm based in Madrid. CEO Miguel Galera and Corporate Development Officer Eduardo Vilar have been instrumental in organizing ReadWriteWeb Spain.

Ignacio gave us the following background about Spain:

"We happen to be a country with very few English speakers (by European standards), so we feel that bringing home a valuable piece of Sillicon Valley and making it accessible to our entrepreneurs, startups and hobbyists is a way of contributing to pushing this country forward in technology. We would like to gather a community of decision takers and influential professionals around ReadWriteWeb Spain and make things happen.

Our economy has largely been based on construction and the economic turmoil has hit us hard. There is talk of "changing bricks for computers". We want to be at the cutting edge of this movement and we found no better vehicle than ReadWriteWeb.

We also share a lot of ReadWriteWeb's interests, like the semantic and the real-time web; and values such as analytical, uncompromisable journalism. It's great to stay current on those issues, thanks to your updates [at ReadWriteWeb.com] and best practices, but we'll also broadcast news and trends from this side of the Atlantic."

You can also follow ReadWriteWeb Spain on Twitter @rwwes - and all of our country sites at the Twitter list rww/international.

The opening post, translated in English here, was written by Jaime Garcia Cantero and is an in-depth look at Internet trends in Spain. Jaime Garcia Cantero is an associate of IDC Spain and assistant professor of IDG Communications of the EOI. He is considered to be one of Spain's most influential analysts.
