I went through a period of not participating and I feel energized by the time off to refocus. I imagine that could happen a few times in one's life-cycle of socializing online.

I'd like to hear more about mind map methodology. Do you have some sites you recommend? Edwin, to be honest I was recently introduced to mind maps and have only basic understanding of the concept.

But that is my bias ;-) I will have to find time to hunt down the book from the last post... To expand your ideas into my sphere the steps you describe I have seen in the YouTube community. Yes there are millions who don't get past etiquette and enlightenment tends to come after a period of going black. Many vloggers take a break from the info overload and come back with clarity. They begin to vlog not for the fame but for the love of the interaction. Whether you meant to or not I see this is your process as well, cheers to your new site it will be great ;-) You know where I miss you the most is in video format. But that is my bias ;-)

To be honest, as a the developer of a competitive product MindVisualizer, I would say this is great for showing ideas online, although desktop mind mapping software like MindVisualizer is more powerful in terms of feature set.

I have a modest comment. maybe you can convert the text notes of the nodes in the mind map to nodes, making it more visible, especially now there are too less nodes in the map, you need to enrich it, you know it’s the nature of mind mapping :)

I think I know <a href="http://www.buzzmachine.com/2006/07/18/fake-breasts/" rel="nofollow">what you are</a> and now "get" your comment. I'm touched you cared enough to comment. ;) Ok, so I did a little research. I think I know what you are and now “get” your comment. I’m touched you cared enough to comment. ;)

I appreciate your comments, but I'm confused. What do you mean there is not enough white space? Was that sarcasm? I looked at your site and it's wall to wall text. Whereas this site makes generous use of borders, leading, and margins. Am I missing your suggestion here? I know many people approach blogging as bite-sized chunks of information, which is great for mass appeal. However, my focus is to provide quality, in-depth knowledge that you can't find anywhere else. I expect that many will not relate to my posts, but for the few that do it will be information that truly inspires them. Hi Amanda! I appreciate your comments, but I’m confused.

From a graphics perspective, there's not enough white space here. Keep in mind, if you're going to evangelize social media, you can never have enough white space. 2. On a related note, the "mind map" hints at depth. What you want to do is keep everything as superficial as possible. Keep in mind, the typical social-media enthusiast is light in his loafers and is looking for that euphoric feeling of floating. Of course, these suggestions may sound like "far-fetched-hippy-crystal-woo-woo gibberish," but you know what I mean. Sincerely, - Amanda Chapel Justin,
