Wow, ever feel humbled.
The most humbling experience I ever had was when I saw a Rembrandt up close and personal at the Belagio in Vegas. It was the eyes. I knew that I could never create what I was looking at. It was humbling.
I had a hint of that feeling when I wandered over Des Walsh’s “business and blogging” site. What a mindmap of blogging platforms.
Now, I’ve player around with mindmapping. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mindmapping
If you’ve never tried it, think of a NYC subwaymap. It’s a visual abstraction of everything the creator thinks you should know about a topic in one visual. You can grok http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grok a topic fully from the creator’s pov. I describe it as quickly getting up on some shoulder for a better view. Like a kid at a parade. Don’t confuse the better view for real understanding. Or, the ability to do it yourself.
SO, take a quick look at that mindmap if (1) you want a snapshot of what blogging platforms are out there; (2) you want to see a well-executed mindmap; or (3) your ego needs a little deflating. (Mine always does.)
I was impressed and that’s not easy. Now where are my colored pens?
