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?

I recently subscribed to some Techstars startup digest newsletters and find the information quite useful.

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.
@patsully88 I second this, any newsletters you recommend?
@patsully88 Newsletters are great, any you love? I actually still use RSS also haha
One of my last sources is Discord. And so, I have more question, where to find the time 😄
Great question! I'm curious too! Personally, newsletters and Twitter are what I use... I love Stacked Marketer in particular.
Building a few sources into https://mailbrew.com/ has been amazing, keeps things super streamlined and not overwhelming
Google news' "Technology" section
Try out Curatora.io. You can create a content stream for tech news and you'll be getting daily fresh relevant content to consume. You can add your custom RSS feeds to your content stream and you can do a lot more.

Try out Techcrunch.

I follow all major technology news sites, like TechCrunch, Mashable, ReadWriteWeb, Wired, and a few more. I try to keep my finger on the pulse of all things tech.
Peek (https://www.producthunt.com/prod...) is an incredibly helpful — and ridiculously simple — resource in this regard
What best way other than make the top thech news yourself? Jokes aside, techcrunch is my fav entrypoint! :)
sorry but i m not sure about that. RealcompOnline
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!
Just https://news.ycombinator.com/ because of comments from experienced users about any topic I read. Such a tiny but great platform.
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.
@naomichao Have any favourites? Personally love personal substacks!
@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??
I like the Angel list email newsletter. If you have already may be worth checking out!
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.
I have signed up with few newsletters which help me focus on the specific topics & news without getting distracted with other information.
