This looks great and sorry you didn't get more traction on your idea here. First I'd like to say you have a really good idea that's culturally important. Even though growing up I really hated group work, and still do to some extent, a lot has been written about the focus on self-development today is leading people to alienated lives. Essentially the huge focus on the self and self-growth requires so much focus and energy we can't sustain relationships. This focus on the self, isn't really narcissistic, it's necessary if anything considering the decline in social resources and the automation of jobs (don't think it will continue forever but still very bad). Anyway this is a great way of harnessing the desire for increased growth and learning, while still helping with relationships. Second, good job with the focus on small groups as wel. The problem with Facebook a lot of people point out, like Micki Mcgee from Fordham, is that the groups are just too big. Instead of friends we get audiences. This becomes performance instead of personality. Smaller groups, kind of like AA if anything, are probably the way forward. The NYTimes actually wrote an article about 3 weeks ago on the rise of private groups on Facebook and how the company is now endorsing them. Anyway again wish you had gotten more posts here. Most books on marketing are terrible, but highly recommend you look into "Traction". Very simple, low cost way (I've recommend it to nonprofit groups as well) to do marketing and a framework (this is so important) for how to think about it.
