## Resource

In this episode, Scott Hanselman and Mark Russinovich dive into where they get their tech news and how their habits have evolved from the early days of blogging and RSS to today’s AI-focused email newsletters. They reminisce about the heyday of blogs, the rise and fall of Google Reader, and Mark’s old NT Internals mailing list, which once had nearly 90,000 subscribers. They compare curated sources like Techmeme, The Verge, and The Information, and discuss how AI-driven newsletters have replaced RSS as the primary way they stay informed. The conversation also features a fun moment when Scott looks back at his 20-year-old blog posts and finds references to Mark’s tools that helped launch part of his career. Takeaways: Tech news consumption has shifted from RSS feeds to curated AI-driven newsletters Blogging is still valuable as a personal knowledge archive, even decades later How tech history lives in old URLs, broken links, and archived posts Who are they?      View Scott Hanselman on LinkedIn View Mark Russinovich on LinkedIn Watch Scott and Mark Learn on YouTube Resources: Techmeme: https://www.techmeme.com – A leading tech news aggregator for technology business and breakthrough news.
