Thanks for the shout-out. I’m a fan of all of those too - although I still contend that Cranky is the best writer among us. “She” manages to combine insights with entertainment, with a great voice.
Also, let me shout out another vote for your honorable mention. I’m glad he’s writing somewhere, but still miss ‘Michael on Product Management’. Reminds me of when the University of South Carolina was excluded from a “top ten party schools” list about 20 years ago, because they were “professionals.”
I was also surprised to not see Roger Cauvin’s and Steve Johnson’s blogs - they also rock!

Thanks for the mention. That’s good company to be in.
In keeping with Scott’s comment, we all wish we could be as entertaining as Cranky, but there can be only ONE!

have to agree on Cranky, Jeff Lash and Tyner Blain as my top 3, and it looks like community has spoken, you need to add an 11th for Steve Johnson

Well dang it, all of those blogs are very well done. However, don’t forget that are even more product management blog resources out there like… The Accidental Product Manger.

@All bloggers - Thanks for your ongoing contributions, made out of sheer love for the art & practice of product management. You’re awesome. Too bad we can only include 10 (er… 11) in our Top-10 list.

Hey Y’ALL (being Southern, here), The Cranky Product Manager thanks y’all for including her in such illustrious company. And for all the folks who say she is funny. Cuz right now her Cranky Kid is going through a phase where he constantly says “That’s NOT funny, Mommy!”

Great list of product management and product marketing folks. It will be amazing what social media, collaboration and the community of product management will be able to accomplish in the near future. For all those not on the list, or micro-blogging with other tools, we recognize and salute you for your contributions!

This is what I get for spending too much time on Twitter - I’ve fallen off the leaderboard!
