THINQon is a platform for a more intelligent web. It aims to replace the ruling paradigm of the web – that of sharing and gathering information – with a sharing and achieving of understanding. Instead of the Q&A model it offers an experience. A platform for discovery of ideas, people, and yourself.     Continue >
Minimalism
what is it that attracts us to minimalism? 
A rather minimalistic post. I'd say.  Just eight words and a question mark. But these eight words evoke much more than you think at first sight. For instance: Are we attracted to minimalism? Who are 'we'?
Let me think about it!
Simplicity? 
No...just because something is minimal doesn't mean it's simple.

Hmm...maybe the concept of the importance of space. 

?

I shall think about this as well.
I've always been attracted to Hemingway's writing, which is probably passé and cliché, but still true. It's his sentences I think. Short and filled with brute force.

Ernest had this to say of writing: A few things I have found to be true. If you leave out important things or events that you know about, the story is strengthened. If you leave or skip something because you do not know it, the story will be worthless. The test of any story is how very good the stuff that you, not your editors, omit.

Minimalism makes room for the viewer and for the audience. It turns him into the artist.

I don't know though. To echo Ximena, minimal is by no means simple.
