Summary

In this edition of the Weekly Wrapup - our newsletter summarizing the top stories of the week - we analyze why Amazon spent nearly a billion dollars to purchase online shoe shop Zappos, explain why IBM is an early leader in the Internet of Things, investigate whether the Google Chrome OS will finally deliver us the mythical GDrive, look at why Barnes & Noble is a worthy challenger to Amazon's eBook empire, and more. We also check in on our two new channels: ReadWriteEnterprise (devoted to 'enterprise 2.0' trends and products) and ReadWriteStart (dedicated to profiling startups and entrepreneurs).


Note: this week ReadWriteWeb released our second premium report: our Q2 2009 VC Funding Report. Full details below...
