What It Is

On my Om (om.co) is the personal blog and newsletter site of technology writer, photographer, and investor Om Malik. The site describes itself as “Technology & Change: Field Notes From The Present Future,” emphasizing analysis of major technology trends, business shifts, and their impact on human society, drawing on more than 30 years of experience as a Silicon Valley journalist, entrepreneur, and venture investor. In terms of category, it is closest to technology trend commentary under “news and information,” rather than a tool-based SaaS product or a traditional media portal.

Core Features

The site centers on article reading and email subscriptions. The homepage features the latest articles, popular reads, and notes, covering topics such as AI models, Silicon Valley business events, communications networks, and broadband technology. A crawled older article on DOCSIS 2.0 shows that the site preserves a large archive of historical technology writing, making it useful for observing the long-term evolution of the internet, broadband, and communications industries. Article pages also support comments and replies, previous/next post navigation, and subscription pop-ups, giving it the typical structure of a personal blog and newsletter.

Pricing

The pages only show an email subscription entry point, with no membership pricing, paywall, enterprise plan, or premium reports visible. It can therefore be inferred that basic reading and subscription are at least free. If other paid products exist, they are not reflected in the currently crawled content and should not be assumed.

Pros and Cons

The main advantage is the author’s strong background: he brings experience from technology media, entrepreneurship, and investing. The articles typically do more than restate the news; they try to connect technology, business, and social impact. The site’s long span of historical content is also valuable for studying cycles in the technology industry. The drawbacks are also clear: this is a personal content site, so update frequency, topic selection, and depth depend heavily on the individual author. There is no visible structured database, thematic reports, Chinese version, or team-based customer support. For Chinese readers, long-form English articles may also present a reading barrier.

Who It’s For

It is suitable for technology industry professionals, investors, entrepreneurs, product managers, researchers, and anyone who wants to understand AI, internet infrastructure, and the Silicon Valley ecosystem from a long-term perspective. It is less suitable for users who need real-time breaking news, large volumes of Chinese-language information, downloadable industry data, or hands-on tutorials.

Access from China

Judging from the site’s format, it is a standard English-language blog and subscription page, with no obviously restricted services involved. Actual network access may vary depending on carrier and region, but it should generally be directly accessible. If subscription emails are not received, users may need to check their email spam filtering settings.
