I am curious about the advantages of a newsletter over a blog featuring an RSS feed that you can subscribe to. The concept of getting mailed regularly seems so 1.0 and overcomplicated.

But my question is serious - I also maintain a data science blog and I'd like to evaluate offering a newsletter version of it.

Well for me personally, it offers the advantage that it's available. I don't have an RSS reader and I don't intend to get one. I am trying hard enough to maintain a low information diet as it is, but there are a few newsletters that I allow myself.

Brainpickings is the only newsletter that I really, really do read every, every week. It comes on Sunday - the perfect day to kick back and read and think and stare out the window. Maria Popova always, always has (often several) something(s) in there to get me started.

Microwaves & RF : http://mwrf.com/ Electronic Design : http://electronicdesign.com/ IEEE Spectrum : http://spectrum.ieee.org/ Lobsters (HN with less noise) : http://lobste.rs/ Does anyone have recommendations for good electrical engineering/communications newsletters/sites?

Fer EE newsletters: I find SemiWiki ( https://www.semiwiki.com/ ) quite interesting. It leans a bit to the manufacturing side though.

Hey dkozel, lobsters looks great. Would love to join as a member. Need an invite though. Wondering if you are a member and whether you'd consider sending me an invite?
