A while back I heard Paul Boag talk about how websites should have persona’s while you design them. Although I don’t think is exactly what he had in mind, but I thought it made for a fun idea for a post. What I did was visit some of my favorite websites and pick out people that seemed as if they were real life incarnations of the website themselves.

What do you think?
