Marshall Kirkpatrick Joins Read/WriteWeb

ReadWriteWebThis just in from Read/WriteWeb: Marshall Kirkpatrick is leaving SplashCast Media and joining Read/WriteWeb as a Lead Writer. RWW already has the most impressive tech blogger lineup (like the NY Yankees of tech blogging!) with Head Blogger Richard MacManus, Josh Catone and part-timer Alex Iskold. Marshall is a great free-agent pickup. Looks like I have to pick up my game again (thanks Richard NOT!)

It was just this morning that Marshall and I were discussing the updates to SplashCast and after Marshall's twitters about his own consulting practice Web site, I have wondered about his ability to handle everything for a couple of weeks now but decided not to ask.

Congrats to Marshall and to Richard and the team. Reports are Marshall picked up a 10 million dollar signing bonus (linden dollars) and some are wondering if Richard will keep his shave policy in effect (Marshall has a beard). :)

More details on the RWW blog and Marshall's blog.

Yup... and the "Ace" player is now on RWW. Should make for an interesting fall/winter in the blogosphere. :)

As a die-hard Yankees fan, I greatly appreciate that analogy. ;)

(Also, the three of us all sporting beards at the moment. Steinbrenner won't be pleased!)

So Josh - am I the Mets now? :)

As long as you're not the Angels, we're cool. ;)

I like RWW pretty well, and between this, Mashable and them I think I might be able to avoid TechCrunch altogether. I think there's plenty of room for some better writers.
