Early Stage Web Product Management by Dan OlsenHi Oo,
Thanks for your comment. If I had to recommend one book for usability, it would have to be Steve Krug’s "Don’t Make Me Think" published by New Riders (I actually mentioned that book to the audience when I gave my talk; I plan to add the audio track soon).4 months ago

Early Stage Web Product Management by Dan OlsenNimit,
Thanks for the page about the space pen (very cool to see the detailed specs). Some people say the story is inaccurate because NASA didn’t spend the $1 million on R & D. While that’s technically true, the company that developed the space pen (Fisher) for NASA DID spend $1 million on R & D, as the page you referenced says and as NASA themselves acknowledge here: http://history.nasa.gov/spacepen.html
At any rate, the point is not who spent the money or even to criticize the development of the space pen. It’s just a great example to illustrate the difference between product space and solution space, which is an important concept for product managers (and others, as you pointed out) to master.
Thanks for your comment!

Web 2.0 Product Management by Dan OlsenThanks for the comment. It’s not Reid Hoffman, it’s David Reed:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_P._Reed
His website is http://www.reed.com/dpr/
Note: these laws describe how the maximum theoretical value of networks scale. Several people have given rationale for why the actual value of a network scales at a lesser rate.
After you read the info on Reed’s site, here are some other good links on these topics:
