Harry Brignull did a thorough review of WhatUsersDo.com, a UK-based remote, unmoderated, qualitative usability testing service. To use the service, you pay £25-£30 per participant and you get back screen recordings with audio of them thinking aloud during the tasks. The test participants are chosen from a pool of users paid to take usability tests, similar to usertesting.com.

As Brignull notes, this is possibly valuable to companies with little experience doing usability testing on their own before, but is less likely to be of value to companies with the experience and budget for doing moderated usability research on their own, or with a usability research consultancy.

UX Storytellers is a blog that captures the stories that we share when we're talking UX with our peers at conferences and events. Jan Jursa's team are collecting these stories to publish as a free PDF, an online magazine and eventually a book.

Catriona Cornett created a great list of sketching resources for user experience designers. Includes links to articles, tools, templates, presentations, videos, and examples.

Check it out and add more to the comments. Missing for me are the links to sketch apps for the iPad.
