Editor's Notes
- Who Am I
- The "Global Product Management Talk" was initially conceived as a virtual forum where people who manage products situated globally could interact in real time with product management thought leaders. The Global Product Management Talk raises the bar for what is possible to accomplish in a real time, open platform event on Twitter by encouraging participants to expand their knowledge base with each event, utilize new products in real time as we introduce and beta test various products for participating, enable participants to showcase their knowledge and share resources, and crowdsource educational content for product people to stay apprised of new developments, thinkers, and events in the practice of managing products from inception to market and innovation.Mission:Engage Product people in regularly scheduled, real-time discussionShowcase Product Management experts, speakers, bloggers, thought leaders and practitionersEvangelize Product related job titles as exciting, challenging & rewarding career endeavorsRaise important issues that all Product Management professionals confrontExtend shared resources across industries and bordersFacilitate on-going dialogue, networking, mentoring & support beyond weekly eventsEnable global community around product management knowledge Educate & defend the value of the product professional
- Everyone is throwing information at you in-person today and daily online.Without intention, without a goal and a strategy to achieve it, you’re wasting valuable resources – the most valuable is your time.What is the most valuable information you want to take away from spending time together?Always be asking the markets, the customers, the competition, the stakeholders, the PRODUCT!Every interaction is an opportunity to learn, to give, to sell!

- Concise: A tweet is limited to 140 characters. Be terse. Develop and share content that is precise, short, laser focused, intentional, informative and interesting.
- Be open to discovering the value of your product from others’ perspectives.
- Twitter works across all platforms, operating systems and devices. Tweets are viewable from Twitter website, mobile apps, SMS/text messages, Facebook and LinkedIn status updates.Design from inception to be accessible to users at their convenience, on their devices, on-demand.Product positioning and messaging should be integrated across all media to guarantee consistency and trustworthiness. Then the messages can be optimized to take advantage of the strengths of each platform, and targeted to emphasize the unique value for each audience.
- Definition: the ability of a system/network/process to grow quickly and/or gracefully accommodate and facilitate spikes in growth. Create messaging that easily grows and extends reach using Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) glossaries and other tools. Be sure to include key words optimized for search engines.Incentivize your audience to add content with customer support forums and discussions as well as forms for customer supplied testimonials and case studies plus easy access to wikis and blogs.Crowdsource and bundle content for on-demand reading, create product related hashtags for twitter chats and capture audience tweets into transcripts.
- Search Twitter for product related terms, issues and events. Create and follow networks of your target audience and market space. At this point you will be able to identify thought leaders, prominent bloggers and competitors to follow and analyze their behavior and connections. You can also use Twitter lists to categorize tweeters in a specific category, or by individual topics.
- Tweet valuable information worth re-tweeting at optimal times to promote product lines, provide incentives, rewards, invitations, and share industry news. Here is a sample: “Please retweet: [article name] [by @author] [shortened URL] [optional comment] [#hashtag]”. Remember to employ URL shorteners to save space, such as bit.ly or tinyurl.com. If you attach #hashtags of keywords, you will increase the likelihood of your tweet being indexed by Twitter search
- This is an effective format for a tweet that communicates and contributes value.
- Identify tweeting behavior patterns and determine metrics. Study how timing and headlines affect retweetsLabel “Favorites” to save highlights and testimonialsMonitor “Follower count” to measure distribution powerTrack the number of “@Replies” to measure community engagement Utilize URL shorteners that provide additional data.
