A daily tech newspaper that admits it is satire

TechTwitter IO is a daily tech newspaper written as satire: it takes the day's launches, layoffs, ratios, feuds and outages from tech Twitter and lays them out like a printed front page. It is free to read, and it says plainly that it is parody, so use it for the laugh and pair it with a straight news source for the facts.

What you get in each edition

Every issue opens with a masthead that copies the look of an old broadsheet. There is a motto ("All the Takes That Fit, We Print"), a volume and issue number, a name for the day's edition, and a "Discourse Forecast" box where a weather report would sit. The price line reads "Free (You Are the Product)."

Below that, the paper is split into sections with page codes, the way a print daily would be:

The puzzle page

The back of the paper is where many readers start. On the edition we read, Fun & Games had Twordle (a word guess with six tries and a hint taken from the news), Connections (sort the words into four groups of four), Jumble (unscramble tech buzzwords), Who Tweeted It? and Real or Satire?, where you decide which headlines actually happened. Yesterday's answers sit at the bottom, so you can check your work.

How to read it without getting fooled

The footer is direct about this: unless a post links to its source, the people, posts and quotes on the page are parody or invented. Some stories do embed a real post or link to a real report, and those links are the part you can check. Everything else is a joke built on top.

That makes TechTwitter IO a good second read, not a first one. If you want straight headlines, Techmeme and Hacker News are the usual places, and the outlets they link to carry the reporting. Read those for what happened, then open the paper to see how tech Twitter took it.

Back issues, themes and alerts

Missed a day? The edition date picker and The Morgue hold the back issues. A theme menu changes how the page looks, and you can sign in with Google or X if you want a ping when a new edition drops. Signing in is optional; the paper reads the same without it.

Who it is for

People who already follow tech Twitter get the most out of it, since the jokes land harder when you saw the original posts. If you are new, the who-to-follow guide is a good place to build a timeline first. And if you want only facts with no jokes, a straight news site will suit you better.
