Substack is growing on me - Join me on Notes
A new kind of linkedin and twitter?
Ever since I launched the newsletter I found the platform more and more appealing as a means to communicate with my audience and fellow professionals.
This newsletter is a great way of communicating with you.
Substack Notes are a great way for you to find other content creates like myself.
What this means for Crafting Tech Teams?
I post bite-sized content on Linkedin that is a precursor or follow-up to my longer-form emails that you read here. Going forward I will also duplicate this small-form channel on Notes.
You don’t have to, but if you were thinking of dropping Linkedin as a doom-scroll platform, now we would be a good time to shift.
If you were not following me or are primarily on Linkedin, then my notes will also provide you with a complement to my content.
Below is an auto-generated template that substack’s AI overlords presented as a good means to present the Notes platform fairly.
Let me know what you think.
See you around.
Invitation
I just published my first note on Substack Notes, and would love for you to join me there!
Notes is a new space on Substack for us to share links, short posts, quotes, photos, and more. I plan to use it for things that don’t fit in the newsletter, like work-in-progress or quick questions.
How to join
Head to substack.com/notes or find the “Notes” tab in the Substack app. As a subscriber to Crafting Tech Teams, you’ll automatically see my notes. Feel free to like, reply, or share them around!
You can also share notes of your own. I hope this becomes a space where every reader of Crafting Tech Teams can share thoughts, ideas, and interesting quotes from the things we're reading on Substack and beyond.
Why Substack Notes
Fellow writers and readers are spending time in Notes for a variety of reasons.
Ted Gioia sees Notes as a forum for dialogue.
The idea behind Notes is simple. Millions of people now participate in Substack as writers and readers—but much of this is built on long articles and essays. We now have a forum for dialoguing and sharing shorter posts.
Chris Ryan is drawn to Substack as an alternative for legacy social media.
One of my main reasons for joining Substack was to wean myself off exploitative social media platforms. I’m hoping this is going to help move us along on that journey!
Sherman Alexie wants to create a kind and creative new space in Notes.
I’m going to focus on being positive, with my own thoughts and photos and by linking to songs, stories, poems from around the web and from other Substacks.
If you encounter any issues, you can always refer to the Notes FAQ for assistance. Looking forward to seeing you there!
