As we’ve said before, one of the few things that we still miss about Anthill Magazine’s print publishing origins ^[1] was a regular section that simply featured a large illustration or collage of images used to articulate the unconventional musings of Anthill blogger and serial entrepreneur Steve Sammartino ^[2].

The section was affectionately called Creative Espresso ^[3].

In the online world, it seems there is not much demand for large graphics of this nature, despite their effectiveness at explaining an often complex message or set of principles. (We know this because we measure traffic with the obsessive zeal of a quantity surveyor on speed.)

However, when we received a polite invitation from OnlineSchools.org to post a big graphic on the rise of Facebook, we couldn’t resist. Enjoy!
