		<description>Scott,

I am also interested in reading the SaaS article.   

We are involved in many product management projects with clients.  I am looking forward to reading and applying your knowledge across industries. 

And I love the people that I am connecting to on Twitter. Glad you found me!

		<description>Hi Scott,
Yes those articles about Effective Meetings are what brought me to this Website (via a Google search.)

There&#039;s a lot of interesting stuff...above and beyond Effective Meetings!  Glad I stumbled up on the site!</description>

		<description>Thanks, Allan!  And I&#039;m thrilled that some of the ideas I share here are breaking through your blood-brain barrier.  I really appreciate the very kind words.  I&#039;m thrilled to hear that you&#039;re getting value out of these articles.  Any topics you&#039;d like to see me write about soon?  Either new ones, or revisiting existing articles in more depth - just let us know.  Other folks - chime in here too :).</description>

		<description>Raven Young,ravens spaces on project management brought me here. Ever since my admiration is growing. The recent article Failure To Launch (Your Product) was an eye opener to me. I am no Product Manager or veteran, but every second of what I spend on this blog, it pays me back invaluably. Every time I read any article, it makes more sense. Your writings are so simple, real, and thought provoking, they are precious pearls to me. 
I think my brain is infected by the virus of Scott&#039;s articles and I am enjoying it. Looking forward to the book.

Very difficult to contribute to this post about your thoughts on Mironov&#039;s book. However, I can say that I can hardly wait to read the essay on SaaS.

		<description>Thanks Yvette, and welcome to Tyner Blain!  Did you find the &lt;a href=&quot;http://tynerblain.com/blog/2006/10/13/run-a-meeting-like-google/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Run a Meeting Like Google&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://tynerblain.com/blog/2006/07/05/make-your-meetings-more-effective/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Make Your Meetings 60% More Effective&lt;/a&gt; articles?  Did they have the info you were looking for?

I think you definitely would enjoy the book.  Rich&#039;s articles would definitely be useful to a business operations manager too.  Many (all?) of his essays focus on strategic business decisions.  Probably very few would be relevant to only a product manager, but not you.

Thanks again for commenting!</description>

		<description>I stumbled across this site researching how to run more effective meetings. We&#039;re getting to launch an initiative, and I want to run an internal contest to give people incentive to get involved. 

Imagine my surprise, to see that this contest is starting today! I&#039;m a sucker for contests.  Grant me &quot;points&quot; and I&#039;m there!

I&#039;m not a product manager, (I believe my official title is Business Operations Manager) but I interact with product managers and I&#039;m sure many of the concepts would apply to my work. I&#039;m sure I could learn something from the book. I&#039;ll check out the Tyner Blain articles.  Hopefully, I won&#039;t get too distracted!</description>
