I am planning on presenting @ Barcamp for the 3rd time. If you
haven't attending one of my sessions before they are participatory and
fun. I usually research (or at least think) about my talks in
advance even if every one was put together the night before. :)
Anyhow, some direction here will help me prepare.
Which one of these 3 should I do?
1) What a good Product Manager Does
In a emerging consumer internet venture, what should a good Product
Manager be doing? Explore topics such as goal setting, quantitative
and qualitative research, data driven decision-making, problem solving
and execution.
2) 10 Well Designed Products
A look back at 10 Products that made a huge impact in advancing human
machine models. Think the mouse, palm pilot, ipod classic, etc.
3) Why Failing at my Last Startup was the best thing I ever Did
This is a follow-up to my BC5 presentation "Why I left my cushy job at
Warner Bros. to Start a Company" (presented entirely using movie
quotes). Need I say more?

I vote 2 or 3, leaning slightly towards 3.

Pete,
I would be particularly interested in option #3.

Adding to Doug and Donna, I like 3 the best.

I'd totally go to the first if it included a live demo of a product
roadmapping.

I think #3 would be your best bet, as studies show that people are
most interested in others mistakes. Plus, listeners will learn more
from it as well.

Thanks everybody for your feedback. Unfortunately life smacked me in
the face. A family emergency forced me on to a plane to Rhode Island
last night through at least the weekend. I was looking forward
catching up with everyone at Barcamp. I guess there's always next
time (if not sooner for most of you).
I was really looking forward to making the presentation this weekend.
Perhaps I will consider it for next time.
