This blog concentrates on web site implementation success, and I try to take a holistic view of that. Of course, we all have our biases, and my technical background probably comes through pretty strongly at times. That said, my primary concern is making sure that web sites get implemented well. In order to do so, I get inspiration from folks in various disciplines. For this blog post, I thought I would concentrate on some people in specialties that probably do not get enough focus:

• Content Strategy: Kristina Halvorson (@khalvorson) of Brain Traffic and Jeff Macintyre (@jeffmacintyre) of Predicate are folks to watch on content strategy, which Kristina defines as "the practice of planning for content creation, delivery, and governance" (from the Content Strategy knol). Check out Kristina's book Content Strategy for the Web.
• Product management: Scott Sehlhorst (@sehlhorst) writes the insightful Tyner Blain blog about product management in general, which I think is an area that does not get enough attention for web site management. Some recent favorite posts of mine are Product Manage Your Website and Modeling User Competency.
• Design, with a focus of successful ongoing management: Paul Boag (@boagworld) comes at the problem of running large sites from a designer's background. See the Boagworld blog as well as the Website Owner's Manual. A recent favorite post is 10 Problems Your Content Management System Will Not Solve And How To Overcome Them.
• Web Operations Management: Lisa Welchman (@lwelchman) of WelchmanPierpoint defined Web Operations Management, which "takes Web management out of the arena of daily management, mini-projects, and silo'd technology implementations and moves it into the more mature operations arena".

Of course, I missed many others in the above and related fields, but I wanted to highlight some of the key related fields and some of the folks behind them.

Are there others we should be watching when trying to implement successful web sites?
