Developing a PLN - what does mine look like?

Visible to anyone in the world

Hmmm.  My PLN map would focus on the friends and colleagues I meet, talk and walk with, and the resources I access via the internet. ... oh yes and Linkedin

I do not use Twitter or Facebook or.... Does that mean I do not have a PLN?  NO!.   I am can defend the idea that my personal learning network does not need these tools, however, if I wish to learn more, I need to increase the reach of my PLN

Thinking about this activity I have come to the conclusion that my PLN needs to be deliberately nurtured.  This graphic sums up the situation for me:
