Here’s my links of interest for the week ending March 18^th, 2006…

A brief one this week. Blame it on the coding.

As always, not necessarily the most interesting stuff this week, but I flagged them for some reason…

Wow - an entry on the flagged theme actually appears when it’s supposed to…

Anyhow, here’s my links of interest for the week ending March 11^th, 2006…

• Simplicity and Invisibility - Matt McCall
  More VC blogging goodness. Someone ought to aggregate the best of the VC blogging goodness and put out a book, or a website. Or maybe a ChangeThis doc.

  The trade off between feature richness and usability. Deep can also mean key features go unused and unnoticed.

As always, not necessarily the most interesting stuff this week, but I flagged them for some reason…
