I’ll be speaking at the APPEALIE 2019 SaaS Conference and Awards in San Francisco on September 25th and I noticed that in their promotions the folks at APPEALIE had assembled their own Kellblog’s Greatest Hits album from 2016 to 2019, complete with its own cover art.
When I looked at the posts they picked, I thought they did a good job of identifying the best material, so I thought I’d share their list here. They also called me “a GOAT software blogger” and after playing around with acronyms for about half an hour — maybe Groove, OpenView, AngelVC, Tunguz? — my younger son swung by and said, “they called you a GOAT? Cool. It means greatest of all time.” Cool, indeed. Thanks.
Here’s the APPEALIE Kellblog’s Greatest Hits 2016-2019 list:
