About
Spyglass is a collection of written works, thoughts, and analysis by M.G. Siegler, a long-time technology investor and writer. While the core focus is on the tech sector, a wide-range of topics will be explored. Perhaps the best way to frame the site is as a real-time notebook for what M.G. is reading and thinking about from a vantage point that's outside of Silicon Valley after so many years on the inside.
Operationally, Spyglass is three core products rolled into one:
- a blog – thoughts on a wide-range of topics posted throughout the week
- a column – more in-depth writing published regularly on the site
- a newsletter – a dispatch sent around timely topics
To get full access to all analysis and commentary – as well as an audio version of the columns (instructions are found here) – you will need to be a member of the Spyglass paid tier, 'The Inner Ring'. The cost is $10/month or $100/year:
You can follow along with everything on:
🐦 Bluesky
📕 Flipboard
📓 LinkedIn
🐘 Mastodon
🤓 RSS*
🧵 Threads
💬 WhatsApp
❌ Xitter
If you're interested in certain topics, those are segmented by #tags – each tag has their own page as well as RSS feed (e.g. here's the feed for posts about Apple)
*Members of The Inner Ring can also get access to a full RSS feed including all paid posts. Email subs [at] spyglass.org if you're interested.
One more thing:
If you really, truly want to receive every post – the column, all the blog posts – in your inbox, members can do so by clicking here and toggling on the 'Email Me Everything' slider. This is off by default as it will mean a decent amount of regular email in your inbox. And I already include links to such posts in the newsletter. But I know some people prefer this method of delivery, so... enjoy!
