Re: What’s the difference between a business analyst and product manager?

@Jeff Gothelf - you draw the distinction between between older and younger companies, but I've always noticed that for companies that have BAs there is some historical tie to an IT-centric organization (that mostly focuses on serving internal customers & processes), while companies that have Product Managers tend to be focused more on some external-facing Product and users outside the company. I wonder if you or others have seen this pattern as well?

Re: What I Really Think of the 1st Int'l Jbloggers Conference

So I wasn't one of the attendees at this conference, but it seems to me that your comments could potentially land you a job as a consultant for this conference in the future. Have you thought about taking that angle?

While I think your suggestions are helpful, it worries me a little that your comments may be a little harsh, especially since this is an opportunity to improve the quality of this conference. As I'm sure you know, blogging, web 2.0, ugc, etc. are very very new to many people. I'm not surprised at all that a conference on the topic might not be able to make it past the basic level (though I know there are other conferences that go in depth).

Why don't you help the conference committee improve next year by consulting for them (and perhaps making a few sheks in the process)?

Love the blog, btw.
