Spring Camping Begins!

I was just looking at my schedule and noticed I have a good deal of time on the road with Product Camps which is always fun.  I’m looking to be at 4 PCamps in the next 3 months.

ProductCamp Vancouver: This is next week already!  (Saturday, March 17) Looking forward to being out west and catching up with Stuart and team at the SFU Graduate School of Business in downtown Vancouver.

ProductCamp St. Louis: April 21, 2012.  This will be my first time to St. Louis in a really long time and I’m looking forward to it.   I also think this is the first one, if I’m correct.  It is nice to see Product Camps sprouting up all of over the place.

ProductCamp DC: I’m looking forward to attending at my second PCampDC on May 4 and catching up with folks like Pradheep Sampath, Shardul Mehta and the other folks I met last year.

ProductCamp Boston:  I’ve never been to PCamp Boston, but I’ve been watching them online via Twitter for couple of years, so definitely looking to be in Boston in the spring, which is one of the best times to be there. So with good weather, people and content this should be a good camp to attend as well.

Hope to see some of y’all on the road, cheers!

 

 

Market Adoption By Region for Mobile, Social and Digital

This is a series of infographics on the adoption of critical categories for product managers and marketers – social media, mobile and digital. Many thanks to We are Social for creating the presentation, if you haven’t read their blog you might want to add it to your reader.

Will convergence drive specialization?

I typically dislike predication posts, since many of them are a rehash of buzzwords without any meaningful insights or strategic extensions of what many of us have been reading on tech crunch for years. The 2012 Predictions I’ve read are pretty cookie cutter for the most part. If you haven’t read them, let me do an overview for you on 99% of them:

  • Cloud
  • Facebook Killer
  • The Year of Google+
  • iPhone 5
  • iPad 3
  • Smart Phones
  • Android
  • New Buzzy Thing
  • blah

Frog Design took a different and refreshing approach to the formulaic January content creation from many with their slides.

The presentation below is probably one of the most thought out set of trends in technology which may or may not happen in 2012, but directionally I think this presentation from Frog Designs is moving right way based on what I’m seeing in organizations.
