Aside again, I liked the <a href="http://www.businessmodelalchemist.com/2009/11/customer-feedback-not-on-elbullis-menu.html" rel="nofollow">post there on El Bulli</a>, but it reminds me how often people miss the fact the restaurant loses millions per year. They're in the business of selling books and speeches. There's a startup lesson there somewhere. @Dave

I also recommend this presentation on hacking business models - http://www.businessmodelalchemist.com/tools While not specificially geared to Customer Development or Lean Startups, it fits very nicely into the concept of "pivoting".

While not specificially geared to Customer Development or Lean Startups, it fits very nicely into the concept of “pivoting”.

And absolutely, I should have included his name. I enjoyed his Mixergy interview some time back. I'll add him to the list. Any other notable omissions? There are a couple of names here (http://groups.google.com/group/lean-startup-circle/browse_thread/thread/ef33e00cc886109b?pli=1) which are new to me. @poochclub I tend to think that the value of an idea is correlated with its degree of universality. @Sean I didn't mean to suggest that I wasn't interested in your writing - more an admission of my ignorance. How anything gets on my reading list is a mystery to me these days. Thanks for the summary, I'll get caught up soon and edit this post accordingly. And you're right in saying that this is largely what I've found interesting, so I tried to be Talmudic about it and reference the the canon wherever possible. I don't want anyone to be mislead by my take on the subject. A link to your most important or popular posts would be great. I have an ambivalent attitude towards blogs, the real-time web, 24-hour news cycle, etc. I'm not crazy about the emphasis on novelty, that newest posts are listed at the top, that they're inherently more valuable for being new. I don't want to complain much because I'm not proposing a solution, but I know that Spinoza on ethics or Hume on economics is less of a draw than "What Mad Men can teach us about advertising/economics/Sarah Palin." So, yeah, Best Of, please :) I do intend to dip into the Lean Startup Circle. For now, I just read the digests. @Dave

Thanks!
