"Personas" are a very common tool in HCI/interaction design (the root discipline from where web design and desktop design derives).
For those interested in knowing more about "personas" and why it is a standard and recorgnised tool for gathering user requirements I would recommend the BBC 2002 Redesign document [1]. It includes a section on "Personas" that pretty much tells you all you need to know about them (among other key points in web design). There is also an article [2] which talks about Personas in the BBC context and gives more insight into them.
