Nice, I have started to collect a list of newsletters in a google spreadsheet if you want to take a look or add some help yourself: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1u7Kb7iz6H5dnJJkOmZcd...

Thanks - this is so valuable. I plan to collate these in the same way so you just saved me a ton of time.

How can I contact you ?

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?

The JEDEC SmartBrief is a really great overview of what's going on in the chip industry.

I also like getting Crowd Supply news every so often so I can see what's going on in the hobbyist space.

Major props for the JEDEC SmartBrief ref. Never knew this existed.

I subscribe to the Farnam Street weekly newsletter ( http://www.farnamstreetblog.com/newsletter/ ) and have been reading it regularly for the past few months -- good stuff.

I came here to say the same. Really high quality, thought-provoking content.

Ditto. I look forward to Farnam Street.

I don't.

Used to. In fact, this was a primary mode for me, until RSS. Then I used RSS to setup feeds I would pick through on a recurring basis. The noise levels have gone up, and my interests have changed with career and role changes too.

Now I default to a few communities, this one included, where I can follow and interact with others who have interests and experience I find relevant. Ideally, I contribute the same.

Dialogs are very important. The perspective matters to me. From there, I'll have realizations or questions which I then follow up in various ways, connecting things together.

From those places, I end up following up on information based on recommendations, supplied to me in conversation.

There are still quite a number of blogs I will check in on, and I've got 'em organized for my own needs. This is irregular, depending on what my interests actually are. And some are for entertainment too.

Some newsletters are pretty great. I would reconsider them given much improved curation. Not sure where others are at, but for me at least, it's an opportunity for somebody.

...and I have to plug podcasts here. Mostly, I'm using these for news and hobby entertainment right now, but there seems to be a lot of potential. I find myself with drive times and other odd bits of down time here and there. Audio is often a great solution. For me, a good podcast could serve as a newsletter, and it could drop right into some recurring time I have too.

Anyone have good tech oriented podcast recommendations? I would like to add a few shows to my queue.
