We asked our general assembly product management students to do sketches around "what are the product management tools and techniques and how do you see them applied". Awesome

Like the trend of putting “ADD” buttons on the bottom of the screen on mobile apps where thumbs can easily reach them. Now that’s good UX.

My market model to demonstrate the difference between knowing market potential vs. market entry (entering and capturing a niche). M = market, S = segment, N = niche - it's not about capturing 1% of a market, it's about capturing 80-90% of a niche and moving up from there.

For all you storytellers out there here is a great video from Bob Mankoff at TED explaining the anatomy of a New Yorker cartoon. It's also a great video about contrast, tension, context etc - and how all of these affect storytelling and humor (and determines what makes something funny - or not)

This was kinda brilliant and played on essentially the fact that while everyone would like to read big important books no one is really going to. Sonic let people post the book title and would give a summary in 10 words or less.
