I can't find a URL, but I swear he said once that he used to use them and eventually turned against them. "They're [personas are] artificial, abstract, and fictitious." > > Which is incorrect. Personas are based on a real person and real > data. If > they are not, then they are not personas. They're not based on a real person, they're based on real *people*. They're a hybrid, archetypal representation of many people. That, by definition, makes them artificial and fictitious, does it not? More semantic debates, I suppose, but worth pointing out, I think. -r- ________________________________________________________________ *Come to IxDA Interaction08 | Savannah* February 8-10, 2008 in Savannah, GA, USA Register today: http://interaction08.ixda.org/ ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
