We are very interesting in highlighting and discussing various social and business networking and media groups as a new feature (“Featured Organizations and Their Leaders”) to our expanding readership. At The National Networker (http://ping.fm/79M1C), we would like to start focusing each week on one special cause-based or common-interest based group in its various aspects, including:
• The principle mission or purpose of the group – its reason for being;
• When and how the group was started;
• The leaders, moderators, organizers and their personal and professional backgrounds, interests, businesses and personal leadership attributes;
• The type of individuals who would typically become members;
• The reasons why the group is successful, why it is growing (attracting members), and what “value proposition” it offers its members;
• How much time you dedicate to the business of running the group;
• Your greatest personal victories and challenges in growing the group.
We will run a full-length, specially-featured article on you and your group (subject to your approval), including descriptive information, membership criteria, and the necessary hyperlinks to visit and to join the group. If you have links to file downloads or pages which might add meaningful substance to our article about you and your group. Your actual commitment of time to TNNW for the write-up will be minimal, although we would like to interview you by telephone for one hour or so. We humbly believe that it would be worth your time.
Please simply click on this link in order to introduce yourself, and your group:
http://ping.fm/DhT7o or http://ping.fm/ihru2
We look forward to hearing from you, and to learning about you! Thanks.

Jeff Schomay, of TNNW, tells us that if we eliminate informational clutter, we can increase our effectiveness.
Please give us your thoughts on this. Can less be more?
Clutter = Attention killer.
Look around. It’s the information overload age. We have more clutter in our lives than ever, attacking us from without and within. Like water or lightening, we humans will tend to follow the simplest and most direct path. Will that path lead to you… or away from you?
Just because you have lots of information to get across doesn’t mean you should put it all out there in front of your audience. The more there is to look at, the less the viewer sees. A simple, well organized presentation of your core information can catch, hold, and build attention better, and lead the viewer to a stronger, better directed response.
Everything can use some de-cluttering. How about the space around this article - is it cluttered? How does that affect you? How about your own newsletters, websites, blogs, advertisements, elevator pitches, package design, etc, etc? I bet you can cut half the clutter there and still get across all your important points. And I bet you get a stronger response too.
It sounds simple, but the impact is significant. Now go de-clutter! [See this article, with an hysterical picture of Jugglin’ Jeff, at http://ping.fm/nNoIF
Questions: How much information is enough? Is there a time focus or “magic number” of printed or spoken words that turns prospects off?
