new media in the Berkshires
ReadWebCo is an outgrowth of NewBerkshire.com, one of the Internet's earliest online
magazines, which has been covering the Berkshire arts scene since the late '90s. First registered
in February 1997, "newberkshire.com" was roughly the 35,000th domain name to be created. Today,
NewBerkshire.com publishes around fifty reviews per year and has an easily accessed archive of
hundreds of reviews from all the leading venues, including Tanglewood, Berkshire Theatre
Festival, Jacob's Pillow, Shakespeare and Co., Williamstown Theatre Festival, and Barrington
Stage Company.

maps and the site includes complete lodging reservations capability as well as localized career
and employment services powered by CareerBuilder.com.

e-mail newsletters
ReadWebCo can enable you to create a user-friendly mailing list, which will make it easy (and
inexpensive) for you to communicate with your customers and website visitors. It has a double
opt-in confirmation process to protect the privacy of the owner of this e-mail address. We've set
one up here to give you the opportunity to see just how easy it is for anyone to have their
e-mail address added to the list and to remove it, too.
