Ask HN: How to find people/blogs in niche topics?
While finding good blogs, in general, seems to be very hard, finding good and interesting blogs about niche topics is just blind luck to me. For example, I'm very interested in the topic of exploring new ways to teach computer science and math (taking into account different mindsets, ways people learn concepts, the importance of empathy, etc). The blogs and people I've found all come from random topics on HN and Reddit. I wonder how many links I missed over the years.
How do you find interesting people to follow?
- RossBencina 10y ago> How do you find interesting people to follow? Use Twitter. At least some of those people with interesting blogs tweet and re-tweet interesting additional sources. You can also check out who they follow, and who follows them for further leads. You could also search for who is tweeting about the blogs that you do follow, and see what else they are tweeting. Especially in the areas of teaching CS and math I think Twitter is applicable. There are a lot of people in those areas on Twitter. @benorlin, @centerofmath, @henryseg, @JohnDCook (and his many aliases) come immediately to mind.
