I’m Reading…Last year, I had the opportunity to speak at the PDMA International 2008 conference in Orlando, FL. I gave a talk entitled:
“Building a World Class Web 2.0 Product Organization”
While I posted this presentation to Slideshare and on my LinkedIn profile, it turns out I never actually posted it here on this blog.

I can’t help myself really. What’s the point of putting advanced search operators in the new LinkedIn Search platform if no one knows about them?
So I have a new blog post up on the LinkedIn corporate blog:
LinkedIn Blog: Advanced Search Operators for the LinkedIn Pro
If you are curious, but not curious enough to click through, [...]

If you haven’t tried [...]

A couple weeks ago, there was a great reunion party for many eBay Product Managers & User Experience Designers from the past decade. I didn’t get an exact count, but at least 70 people were there, including many of the early Product Managers from before I joined the company in 2003.
I was happily reminded of [...]

If you haven’t seen your new “blue card” yet, then you likely haven’t checked LinkedIn in the past few hours.
This is one of those simple kudos posts that says “Congratulations” to the team. The redesign of the page is purely front-end, but it makes the page much clearer, and highlights actions that many didn’t know [...]

A few weeks ago, I wrote a Eulogy to eBay Express here on this blog, and it rapidly became one of my most popular posts ever. (Of course, nothing quite competes with the Battlestar Galactica posts, but I digress…)
Last week, eBay quietly announced the death of Bid Assistant, a product concept that I remember fondly [...]

If you follow eBay closely, you may have heard the news already. If not, I’m sure you’ll be reading more about the big eBay announcements over the next few days.
AuctionBytes has coverage, as does Business Week, but I actually think Randy Smythe has the best summary I’ve seen to date.
There are a huge number [...]

So, in case you are wondering, this feature was kind of tricky to name.
Steve Stegman has a post on the LinkedIn blog today announcing a new feature we’re testing, currently dubbed “Viewers of this profile also viewed…”
Steve does a good job explaining the feature. It’s located on the profile page, on [...]

Very funny post today on Everyday Goddess:
Seriously, LinkedIn has this has this function where it says, Hey, you might know these people! And I almost always do.
Yeah, they’re friends of friends, but out of all the friends that a friend of mine has, how does LinkedIn pick my ex-boyfriends, some guy I dated, a graphic [...]

Sorry, couldn’t resist one more post here.
Mario Sundar, the resident blogger at LinkedIn, posted this great item late tonight:
