The Blog Year That Was

I felt like Bubba from the movie Forrest Gump as I reviewed over the past week my 400 + blog posts during 2006. I served my posts baked, barbecued...with coconut, with lemon, every conceivable way. From SaaS to Net Neutrality. From Sanjay Kumar to Ray Lane. From India to Milwaukee. From Google's success to HP's pretexting. Of course, my guest columnists added their own spice to the mix, and my other blog on innovation served up some nice desserts.

Some of the posts on this blog likely delighted you, some hopefully made you laugh, some probably gave you heart burn. Thank you for continuing to patronize Maison Vinnie.

So here are 2 lists you may enjoy  - the most read posts of 2006 , and a second list I picked that reflected various moods and topics during the year.
