I’m going to start linking to things that pop in my feed reader the past week that grabbed my attention. I use the star feature on google reader which acts like a scrap book for me. I use my del.icio.us account a lot but for feeds I tend to keep them stored for reference later and so you won’t be finding these in that feed, so I thought I’d create a once a week summary post to deliver that to you. Often I end up writing posts and many will get brewed up more, but for now lets bring on some links.

• Base camp tips and tricks from Adaptive Path. I’m an avid user of base camp and will be trying some of these out.
• 37 signals looks at the user of personas in development. With my love of psychology I like the methodology that uses personas for development. This is an interesting take on not using it though and using yourself. Whilst I don’t agree with it fully, it does bring up some interesting anti-persona thoughts and drives home the fact that in the end you should be the persona and develop your judgment.
• Apple patenting multi touch gestures. It seems touching your interface is going to stay with us and personally I love it with the iPhone. I’m really intrigued as to the potential of multi touch gesturing on devices.
• Vitamin takes a look at how to ensure your html emails work and look good. With the restrictions from Outlook 2007 Vitamin takes a look back and changes some advice to do with emails.
