Take our community survey!

As a reporter covering entrepreneurs and technologists here at Technical.ly, I've written plenty about the importance of collecting feedback from users, and using what they say to get better. So I'm excited that now it's our turn to put that into action, for tech journalism: Technical.ly's 2021 community survey is live.

This short survey offers a chance to weigh in on how we're doing with local innovation coverage, what you want to see and just generally how we can serve you better. We won't be publishing this newsletter tomorrow for August Fridays. So take the few minutes you'd usually spend reading our stories to send a lil' note back to us. We appreciate it! See you back here Monday.
