I've been a member of the group since I think October of last year,
and you do see a difference. Even though the numbers were steadily
increasing, there wasn't much change in the way the members of the
group communicated with one another. Then, yes, there did seem to be a
spike - a tipping point - a bubbling over, or whatever you may want to
call it. It's almost as if our brain cells can handle a fixed number
of information. Like there is a certain line where realizing the
similarities turns into noticing the differences.
(...Wondering if this is how early settlers feel. How tribes form. How
wars are started. How peace may be inevitable as long as we are human
beings (this is where we should strive to rewire ourselves) ---- talk
about off-topic. :))
Forums have come up a number of times. It's coming up regularly now.
Maybe it is a viable option at this point. I know I scan this list
pretty fast, just to make sure I don't miss important info, but I
don't feel as connected to it as I used to be. I belong to a couple of
other forums and there is still a sense of community. You just feel
like you're traveling from room to room, rather than trying to shout
in a big convention hall.
Maybe a forum could work symbiotically with the yahoo group.
In any case, this group has been valuable to me as I learned to vlog.
It would be a shame if other newcomers don't get to have the same
experience of community.

PS: Michael, if you're liking Tipping Point, you should also pick up
"Freakonomics" and "Blink." They are pretty good too.
