Superb idea but!
This is a wonderful idea and I can see that its got some serious potential to grow, but it needs its own feel! Ditch the *thumbs up* likes and "statuses". If its called MINDS, it should consist of lightbulbs for "likes", and "thoughts" instead of "statuses"! MINDS needs to be MINDS, not facebook 2.0, which is quite mind numbing...
