I'm always looking for new ways to streamline my tech news consumption, what blogs, news sites, newsletters and twitter accounts do you follow to keep up to date?
As old-school as it is, I have started to use email newsletters to do this more and more. I have used Twitter in the past, but it's become noisy and less directly on the trend of tech news. Then in more of a "lagging commentary on tech news," I listen to podcasts.
Kind of tangential to actual "tech news" but I've found a lot of great content by checking out the substacks of people I admire. A ton of tech leaders have personal newsletters. 90% of the time, reading their general musings about what's going on in the world is more interesting than straight up news articles.
@aaronoleary Oh boy. I avoided actually naming anything because there are so many I would have to actually look them up, but here's a somewhat complete list...Garbage Day, Lenny's Newsletter, Health Tech Stack, The Intrinsic Perspective, Top of the Lyne, Deb Liu's Perspectives, Health API Guy, Accelerated (by the Moore twins), John Cutler's The Beautiful Mess, Bring the Donuts, Out-of-Pocket, The Profile, Technically, Your Local Epidemiologist, Will Lawrence's Product Life, Big Bets, The Growth Catalyst. Those are the substack ones. I don't read all of them religiously but I subscribed at some point for whatever reason.
The article that got me into newsletters was Will Lawrence's post about moving to London to prioritize his relationship with his girlfriend. He writes awesome product content so part of why that post stood out was because he actually mentioned his personal life, but also...who's not going to love an article about a career-focused PM moving across the pond for love??
Hi @aaronoleary
Earlier, I was also struggling to keep on top of the tech news, but later I found a helpful tool. I started looking for tech quizzes on google and I saw "Outgrow's Weekly Tech Quiz". They share tech quizzes every Monday and they are exciting. It helps me to keep up to date. I recommend you to try out their Weekly Tech Quiz. You will find it interesting.
Let me know your thoughts on this!
By following relevant:
- Tech publications and their newsletters, like TechCrunch
- Tech Influencers for Gadget News, exhibit A. MKBHD
Depending on your social channel usage, follow these entities on those channels for handy content
Use Twitter, follow your favorite content creators and then, whenever you find an interesting re-tweet, see if they have a newsletter or, even better, a blog. I add RSS feeds from blogs on Feedly so I don't miss any new post.
