We set out to broaden our ambitions; to create a design philosophy and world-class design standards that all designers across the business could adhere to. We wanted to find the soul of the BBC. We wanted something distinctive and recognisable; we wanted drama. We knew whatever we created needed to be truly cross-platform and that we needed to simplify our user journeys.

From a fantastic post on the BBC blog charting some of the work that is being done on the redesign of the BBC site.

A New Dimension to Touch

Looks like pressure sensitive touch screens could be just round the corner according to this article on the BBC.  The added dimension this could add to interaction is pretty exciting with a few examples shown here and a bit more about QTC, the magical material behind this, here.

Personality in UX = Brand

Here's a good article on about whether technology should have personality.

I agree with the idea that interaction design should consider personality, but I don't think it is as simple as just making the technology and interaction nice and friendly.

I think we need to look beyond this and start thinking about Brand interaction. That is ensuring how we interact with something is a reflection of the personality of the Brand it represents, whether it be a website, application, mobile phone or some other piece of technology.
