That's a good point Rob about the education part. I definitely like that Education and maybe even Newsletter buttons will be added.

I still think Blog and What's New would be the buttons that can be dropped. What's New is the same as Forum and like you said nobody blogs.

To me Chat and Forum are just two different vehicles for conversations to take place. Like I can call you on the phone or I can mail you a letter. In both conversations I can convey something equally educational. Chat isn't necessarily more 'social'. It just makes it easier to discuss certain subjects because of the immediate nature of response (hence the phone versus letter analogy) ;)
