Like many of us, I read an exceptional amount of content that I love... and then lose sight of immediately in the swarm of my digital day. These days, social media algorithms disappear content almost instantly after I've glanced at it, pushing me to the next high-engagement post every time I scroll or reload. To mitigate feed media's insistence on immediate forced obsolescence, I subscribe to a ridiculous amount of newsletters and bookmark as much as I can.

Here are my regular influences, the ones I constantly like, follow, and subscribe to — the ones I'm deeply indebted to for creating brilliant content for readers, linking me to their amazing networks, and generally laying the foundation for The Content Technologist's deep focus on complex content strategy.

And the next time you hear someone say "the internet sucks now," please point them thisaway. The internet is still filled with brilliant minds and original thinkers.

Thank you for reading, sharing, and supporting.
