Since I want to be a product manager, I thought about finding blogs that deal with product trends.

Involving customers – a new concept?
http://www.userdriven.org/ is a blog that is about product management involving the end-user. At a first glance I thought that the concept of user-driven product development is nothing new. But we have to take a closer look to see how innovative it is.

Even if the author addresses mainly Hardware, Software, Online, IT and Technical Product Managers, I think that the posts are also relevant for product managers (PM) in general.

Several weeks ago my best friend told me that he loves reading blogs. Actually, he’s looking for interesting people or people who write about their lives and experiences in an interesting way. As I find it hard to find “good” blogs, I thought it would be nice if he helps me out by giving me the links of his favorite blogs. He did and actually I like the blogs. Unfortunately they are mainly in German.
Therefore I wanted to find some interesting English blogs about ballet and jazz dance. First I found blogs where people are talking about the technique and how to improve one’s dance style. I realized that this was not what I searched for. Then I found http://atimetodance.wordpress.com/. It seems to me that Maria, the author, relates their interest in dancing to other topics. And that’s what I like 🙂 The links are just great (my favorite deals about “Scrubs”) and I can’t wait to read more. (more…)
