Continuing our look back at 2006 with the best posts (though who am I to judge?) from Shop Talk this year. Feel free to agree, disagree, shoot these down, or call them all unworthy of a best-of list. Cheers.

11. "Passion beats resources every time," November 28.

10. "Successful innovation takes PIEER," August 15.

9. "Vince the fashion label: lessons in building a brand," September 14; and its related post, "Vince sells out," September 28.

8. "If you want to innovate, get some rest," October 4.

7. "Make some mistakes and profit from it," June 21.

6. "Ending the war between sales and marketing," July 6.

5. "A bit of foolishness," October 10.

4. "What in hell is the fuzzy front end?" July 25.

3. "Storytelling in business--and I don't mean fudging the numbers," November 30, and "More storytelling--this time listening," December 5.

And the winner, who will be represent the blog at public functions, charity events and local TV appearances for the next twelve months (in case of illness or injury, the runner-up will assume the role of blog representative):
