My PLE Diagram

I wanted to try and not just show the tools, but how they relate to the different "Circles of Trust" of the people in the network. A few notes:

* the circles extending outwards from the centre represent different levels of trust/relationships. They are dotted lines on purpose - these are not fixed; relationships change, you get to know some people better etc.

* the two headed arrows are meant to express the flow of information and learning - it is not all one way. You *can* just read blogs. You *can* just use del.icio.us without using it socially and following others. But I have always maintained that if we view these as actions ('blogging' instead of just 'blogs') it helps us understand them as conversations, as the "read/write" particpatory web.
