Mind Mapping - The Tipping Point


A mind map is a diagram used to represent words, ideas, tasks, or other items linked to and arranged around a central key word or idea.




  • .

  • The Law of the Few

  • Word of mouth appeals have become the only kind of persuasion that most of us respond to anymore (p32).The success of any social epidemic is heavily dependent on the involvement of people with a particular and rare set of social gifts (p 33): Connectors, Mavens, andSalesmen.

  • Connectors: People with a special gift for bring the world together (p38).
    • We don’t seek out friends. Proximity overpowers similarity; we associate with those who occupy the same spaces we do (p35).
    • A very small number of people are linked to everyone else in a few steps, and the rest of us are linked to the world through those special few.
    • They manage to occupy many different worlds and subcultures (p47).
    • The acquaintance /“weak tie” – a friendly but casual social connection (p46).
    • The strength of weak ties represent a source of social power (p54)
  • Mavens: Information specialists or “Market Mavens” (p 59)
    • Often pay close attention to price/quality differences in products.
    • Mavens want to help - which turns out to be an awfully effective way of getting someone’s attention (p 67).
    • Mavens are databanks – they provide the message
  • Salesmen: Those with the skills to persuade us when we are unconvinced of what we are hearing (p69).
    • Salesmen often employ non-verbal persuasion, but this is not necessarily intentional (p79).
    • One some level, salesmen cannot be resisted.
    • To make sense, salesmen must be present of very near the arrival of new information, or else they would be too late to be effective.

    I really enjoyed doing this Mind mapping. I have done allot of it in the past but never for a book i have read.

Saturday the 26th of September

Bring on the weekend and the week.

It have been a day today so hopefully tomorrow and the rest of next week will also be good and interesting. Our Design Lecture of Friday was very interesting. I loved the games we had to do. I have already started to mind map the book Tipping point. Which should be posted within the next few days. when ever i look at things now, i am thinking what does that mean and do you now what i am saying: ' It doesn't mean anything.'LOL. This evening i went for a run with Amy Joe along the Tay Bridge in training for the TA military fitness and medical. I will be posting the Mind map soon.

Along with that my flat got the WIRED magazine for september and october. i really enjoyed looking at these.
