Weekly reads for 12/23/2006…

Just a quick post showing what I enjoyed reading the past week…

David Armano has a great post where he shows his thoughts on the new role of design. Also, it’s got a link to SlideShare, one of the seriously cool products of the last year.
Discussions of Google’s market share abound this past week. Mike Moran has one of the better perspectives on the subject.
Digital Web has some interesting thoughts about microformats, which<bold prediction alert> will do in 2007 what RSS did in 2006.</bold prediction alert>
John Jantsch (a must read), asks the brilliant question “Could you compete in the straw market?” Nothing like a healthy dose of perspective on competition now and again.
Darren Johnson may have just helped me convince my wife we need a Wii. Thank you, Darren. As a side note, one of my favorite people in the world was the product manager for the Wii’s Opera browser implementation. Nice job, Tami.
Finally, a shout-out to Anne, for tagging me and for generally being one of the best reads in the ‘sphere.

Cheers and Merry Christmas, everyone.
