Things we noticed on the blogosphere this week, from the 3rd December until the 9th.

Kathy Sierra had a really good post on how to build a user community, where she highlights the impact of people helping other people, and how to harness the knowledge of members of your community to benefit other less experienced users.

24 ways continues to amaze with this years series. Since its been a week and a week means 7 posts, I should just point you to the page itself and let you be amazed on your own.

Anne Zelenka over at Om’s Web Worker Daily has a good post on how you can screw up email-based negotiations by not replying, replying late or replying with way too much text. Most of our projects begin with email-based conversations with clients, so email is certainly something we care about.

Dan Saffer has a really good list of interaction design blogs you should be reading (even though I’d say Valleywag isn’t really ID related, ei Dan?). And speaking of lists, fimoculous’s list of best blogs from 2006 has some really great stuff you probably aren’t reading (But should).

Have a great week!
