Words escape me regarding what Mindjet are attempting to accomplish with their latest acquisitions and extremely intelligent moves to absolutely corner the visual information management market.The others (competing developers) may indeed be placed into panic mode with the realization they may not be able to compete with the FREE offerings and new acquisitions of Mindjet.Via the entry level Free offering of Mindjet Connect (Thanks for being reborn) with 1GB of data load, and yes I'll say it again; it's FREE.

Concise Learning Blog13 Jan 2012 | 10:02 amIncome Tax Mind Map With the new year comes a new tax season. As you begin to prepare for your income taxes, it helps to have a checklist.

There’s no such thing as information overload
27 Jan 2012 | 12:36 pmThere’s no such thing as information overload. That’s the audacious claim of the author of the Innovation Leadership Network Blog, Tim Kastelle. Kastelle contends that there has always been too much information. It’s just that in the past, we developed methods of managing it, filtering it and working with it that were reasonably effective. What’s changed is that the volume and velocity of information we must deal with today have grown so much that our traditional methods of dealing with it don’t work any more. That may be true up to a point. But I think we are… -
A profound look at Generation Y and mind mapping
27 Jan 2012 | 9:37 amGeneration Y – young people currently in their late teens to early twenties – are the future of business. Based upon a story I recently read about how they engage with mind maps, it looks like a bright future, indeed. Recently, my colleague Jeffrey Ritter shared a fascinating story on his blog: The son of one of his friends was visiting for dinner, and he was encouraged by the friend to show the young man RitterMaps – Jeffrey’s version of mind maps, adapted to the legal profession. To Jeffrey’s surprise, his young protégé grabbed the mouse and proceeded to… -
7 reasons why diagramming software doesn’t do mind maps well
26 Jan 2012 | 1:15 pmMany diagramming software programs today are like Swiss Army Knives – they can create almost any kind of diagram you could imagine, including mind maps. But mind mapping isn’t usually their strong suit. If you try to use Visio, SmartDraw or other similar programs to create mind maps, here are the shortcomings you will run into: 1. The map creation process is time-consuming: The process of dragging and dropping a shape to the workspace, typing text into it and then adding a connector line is too slow to capture the “flow” of ideas when you’re brainstorming alone… -

The compelling business advantages of mind mapping software
23 Jan 2012 | 8:06 amMind mapping software is often dismissed by linear thinkers as being somewhat frivolous and not worthy of their attention.

Idea Map 342 – Learning Spanish or Other Foreign Languages
21 Jan 2012 | 7:11 pmI was recently helping a high school student study for his Spanish exam in a way that better matches his visual learning style.

This is a template that provides an example of a possible approach to creating an idea map and some items you may want to include in your map.

How to Eliminate Fear
9 Nov 2011 | 5:03 amFree PDF Download IQ Matrix GalleryMasterMind MatrixFAQ How to Eliminate Fear It’s probably safe to say that we all experience fear of some kind throughout our lives. This fear often results from a level of uncertainty that we have about something. Moreover, it prevents us from taking the necessary actions we want to take in order to achieve a desired outcome. This consequently can diminish our levels of self-esteem, and can therefore hold us back from taking the necessary actions in other areas of our lives. In many ways, it seems that if we are unable to effectively manage and…

I gave it a try and searched on the term "Assistive Technology" to see how the Keyword Cloud feature would work. Wikisummarizer generated the Keyword Cloud very quickly and when I was done I copied the embed code that was supplied and pasted… -
NoteControl - Taking Charge of Your Resources
22 Jan 2012 | 3:54 pmWith information coming at us at a frantic pace it is no wonder that we can quickly become overwhelmed. This is especially true for students who have a need to curate their notes and sources when writing research articles. Life was a lot easier for me when I was in school, there were simply books and journals, that I used to cite my works. Today students are faced with the myriad of Internet sources, books, journals, podcasts, and multimedia to keep account of when doing research. In this light, Matchware, recently released a new product NoteControl aimed at students to help them… -
The Kindle Fire: Fully Loaded If A Little Fuzzy
5 Jan 2012 | 5:07 pmThe Amazon Kindle Fire was released on Nov. 15, and shocked consumers with its $199 price tag. It seems like most of the rhetoric around the device has been its price, and while that certainly is a huge part of its success, it also has some pretty spiffy features. I have a Fire and I've compared it to a friend's Barnes and Noble Nook and in just about every unscientific test, the Fire came out ahead. First of all, it feels great in the hand. It's a solid device that doesn't feel like you will break it in half if it gets roughed up a bit. The sleek edges feel like they could be an Apple… -

Five Questions to Ask Before You Buy a Dedicated eReader
25 Nov 2011 | 7:46 amI have been using eReaders for some time now and really enjoy the convenience and ease of use of these dedicated devices. In my travels to schools, I am beginning to see more and more schools pilot eReaders in the classroom, especially for students who struggle or who are unmotivated to read. Teachers see the value of students being able to change the size of the font and easy access to the dictionary feature. For many students who struggle in reading many are now more motivated to read on an eReader device as compared to a traditional book. Students…

Using Web Browser To Improve Your Mind Mapping Technique
17 Jan 2012 | 9:16 amWhether you are working on a school project, marketing campaign or budget planning, mind mapping can always be helpful in finding the way to finish your assignments easier and in a more organized fashion. But sometimes in order to complete the picture, we need additional information other than our ideas, suggestions or the facts we know. Of course the best source of information is his Majesty, the Internet. A new study has determined that for the first time, search engines and Internet have trumped printed yellow pages for searchers looking for information. But not always the information we… -
How can we take the best of creative, critical and visual thinking?
28 Nov 2011 | 3:25 amThinking is the basic activity of the human brain. Generally refers to any mental or intellectual activity involving an individual’s subjective consciousness. We know the meaning, we know the process. But how do we individually use it, do we make difference among separate types of thinking and do we know how to take advantage of them. We often use creative, critical and visual thinking and brainstorming interchangeably. In order to develop our thinking techniques properly and use these different types of thinking most effectively, we need to make a difference among them and combine it… -

Tragedy of the Wireless Commons
12 Jan 2012 | 4:45 pmEvery wireless phone call, download, use of an app or period of ‘net surfing, causes toxic high frequency electromagnetic (EM) radiation to move at the speed of light through the environment. It travels from tower to tower, affecting living beings in its path. Can we escape the long-term consequences of this invisible pollution when only a few of us perceive its short-term biological effects? Does our species have the right to pollute the biosphere with unnatural EM radiation, or do all living beings have the right to natural background radiation? Individuals and governments are making… -

Creativity Principles
24 Jan 2012 | 5:27 amThe Creativity Principles Mind Map will help you to appreciate what creativity is.

The mind map looks at how creativity comes about by stretching the imagination and making new associations to establish new ideas that add value. In addition the mind map looks at how creativity gets away from the norm to shock, startle, surprise and provoke new thinking. -

DropMind Web Review – Part 2
5 Sep 2011 | 4:31 amIs this still mindmapping? The user has limited possibilities in placing topics where he or she wants. The are roughly four positions where topics can be placed (right, bottom, left, top). Strangely enough the topics on top and bottom are displayed rather as an organogram instead of a radial mindmap. Other mindmapping solutions don’t seem to have this (problem). We can conclude mindmaps created in DropMind Web visually don’t look as good as mindmaps created in other applications. Furthermore ‘hardcore’ mindmappers won’t find them that pleasing to look at. Saving time with smart… -

Envision your best ideas with MindManager 9 for Mac

And; Mindjet have done a pretty good job of MindManager 9 for Mac (Lion compatible), and as far as I have delved into the Mac version (ever so slightly), I can say that I would definitely use the Mac version as much as I use my primary PC version.Ease…

21 Jan 2012 | 7:07 amGoodbye Dominik, we’ll miss you! Generations after generations, our family has never had a tragedy of suicide. It was unheard of. Until last week, when my 16-year-old cousin killed himself in a small village in Croatia. I grew up with his dad, his uncles and aunts, grandparents; but I didn’t know him. I’ve never met him. I never spoke to him on the phone. I never even saw a picture of him. I didn’t know his name until today. Dominik. And still, I MISS HIM! I’m looking at his pictures now, wishing that I had met him before he died. Even though I’ve never met him, I’ll never… -

Tips for formatting and splitting topics
13 Jan 2012 | 6:35 amInspired by receiving a reply from the HMRC (UK Tax) as a continuous string of text punctuated but not paragraphed. A few tips for formatting topics: Splitting Text: You can split the text in a topic into topics or sub topics using the context menu (Right click) > Split Topic or short cut keys: Select the text to move to the new topic then Shift-Alt-Down for new topic or Shift-Alt-Right for a subtopic. Select the topic then Ctrl-Alt-Enter to create a new topics. Ctrl-Alt -Insert will produce subtopics. I thought this would be for each word or at each punctuation remark but it was that… -
Hyperlink or Attach that is the question?
4 Jan 2012 | 11:19 amNot quite as fundamental as to be or not to be but it is important to understand the difference. The question was raised in another forum and I thought I would summarise my thoughts here. Where are the files? Hyperlinked files (and web pages) remain where they are on your hard drive, network drive or on the web. Hyperlinks won’t work with USB memory sticks, SD cards and other portable memory devices if they are removed. Hyperlinks won’t work if the file name or folder is changed. Attached files are copied from the original location, embedded in the MindManager file and there… -
How do you use My Maps in MindManager?
19 Dec 2011 | 3:25 amDo you use the My Maps tab on the right hand side of the MindManager user interface? I do. Map shortcuts allow you organise collections of related maps.

This is my general approach: Map Shortcuts – collection title types Index maps Current projects, clients, product development To do Recurring presentations Folder Shortcut Projects Clients Remember Both Right click to remove, rename etc. e.g. Use rename to Add index numbers prior to the name to force the sorting by priority Add the client name before the project folder… -

Unfortunately he does want me to share the maps publically but I thought I would remind you (as I did for myself when doing this) or inform you for the first time about customising the clickable image map web export.

Increase the height of the ink input field to write extra lines
25 Nov 2011 | 4:03 amYou can write more than one line in the ink input feld of a topic when using MindManager in ink mode. Always start your writing at the top left corner of the box not on the line. If you write the second part of your “sentence” above the first it becomes the first part of the sentence when converted to text. To make it easier to write multiple lines, increase the Height of the ink input field in the MindManager Options. Something between 90 and and 120 allows me to enter 2 or 3 lines. Thanks to Maurice Poole for asking the question yesterday. If you have any other questions about…
