I used to write a weekly wrapup on TechCrunch. I’d bookmark interesting web 2.0 stuff during the week, and sit down on Sunday evening and write about all of it. You can see the old posts here. I’ve stopped doing it. I can now use this blog to write about interesting stuff as it happens instead of waiting until the weekend when no one really cares any more.

Plus, Richard MacManus always did a better job at it anyway. He just posted this week’s wrapup. Check it out, and subscribe to his blog if you use a reader and want to stay up to date on web 2.0 news.

The first item in his wrapup this week is the Microsoft announcement on Tuesday. I’ve heard all sorts of rumors as to what will be announced. Richard thinks it may center around hosted services, for instance. I was lucky enough to be invited, and I will be posting on it as soon as I can, hopefully even from the hotel. It starts at 10 am PST on Tuesday, Nov. 1.
