I&#8217;ve never been a big consumer of newsletters, mostly because I still use RSS regularly and don&#8217;t really need more stuff in my inbox.<\/p>\n<p>Then the other day I happened to find the <a href=\"https:\/\/aaronzlewis.com\/blog\/\">first new blog I wanted to subscribe to<\/a> in years, and lo and behold, Aaron doesn&#8217;t even have an RSS feed! Just an email newsletter.<\/p>\n<p>So I added Aaron&#8217;s newsletter to a dedicated newsletter app I&#8217;m testing called <a href=\"http:\/\/stoop.website\">Stoop<\/a> and now we&#8217;re golden.<\/p>\n<p>Although I still use Twitter and RSS feeds for finding interesting links, there&#8217;s something nice about a well-curated newsletter that aligns with your interests. I still don&#8217;t subscribe to many of them, but my favorites so far are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.densediscovery.com\">Dense Discovery<\/a>: A weekly list of mostly design-oriented interestingness from Kai Brach. I probably click on over 50% of the links. Very high signal-to-noise ratio.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sentiers.media\">Sentiers<\/a>: A weekly list of articles related to how technology is reshaping society, curated by Patrick Tanguay.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/newsletters\/axios-edge\/\">Axios Edge<\/a>: 99% of &#8220;news&#8221; published every week simply does not matter. Axios Edge from Felix Salmon shows you only what <em>does<\/em> matter, why it matters, and what it might mean for you.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/recomendo.com\">Recomendo<\/a>: A weekly list of six practical, nerdy product recommendations every week from  Kevin Kelly, Mark Frauenfelder, and Claudia Dawson.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cumber.com\/category\/market-commentary\/\">Cumberland Advisors<\/a>: If you are sickened by the clickbait at mainstream financial sites but still want to know what developments in the world mean for the markets, David Kotok&#8217;s emails from this list are particularly informative. The other authors can be a little too niche.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oaktreecapital.com\/insights\/howard-marks-memos\">The Howard Marks Memo<\/a>: Marks is famous for his financial memos, which generally only come out a few times a year. Very long, very infrequent, and very well-written.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If anyone has any other recommendations, please feel free to leave them in the comments! I reserve the right to delete anything that looks spammy, self-promotional, or low quality, however. Only the good stuff, please! :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reading Craig Mod&#8217;s excellent piece The Future Book is Here, but It&#8217;s Not What We Expected got me thinking more about newsletters.
