You may have heard me talk about the group of professionals I meet with once or twice a month to discuss business opportunity and strategy. We exchange trending industry ideas from start-ups to corporate moves, how to improve web presence and resume tips. Our diverse group of leadership spans industries from media, design, marketing, human resources and tech. With this cross-section of corporate America we come up with some good ideas
A recent conversation was about "online presence" and how an individual can get more visibility. One suggestion was to write a blog. I've started blogs about various topics before but then I get swamped with a work project and the blog goes stale. So I did a variation on the idea of writing fresh content and created this new blog with aggregated 'product' related articles from around the web. My goal was to have one place for me to scan the latest headlines and provide a resource that others would return to for updates. I've also included product links and product manager job listings. Oh, yes there's a link to my professional bio on LinkedIn. Who knows, the right people may see my bio and want to talk about a great job opportunity.
Take a look at a-product-manager.blogspot.com Remember it's a new blog and will probably need some tweaks in the upcoming weeks.
Send feedback! If there is something product related you feel would fit well on the page, let me know. I'm open to your ideas. Mostly I want this new blog to be product focused and self maintaining. Consider it a convenient place to check out product headlines without a lot of clicking to find product news.
