Sketching Things

Cultured Code recent blog entry about the plans for an iPhone version of their GTD app Things intrigued me in two aspects:

On the one hand it proved once again how the web reinvented the process of shaping software. They basically just shared some hypothetical posts plus early paper wireframes and the blogosphere literally exploded.

On the other hand I love that designers still craft paper wireframes although it apparently is so much easier to hack ideas right into the PC these days.

For more insights into sketching I recommend the article Pencils Before Pixels in the march/april issue of interactions magazine. Specifically for scribbling iPhone wireframes there is a great free sketch paper available by boulevart.
