Buzan’s iMindMap Version 3 Release Coming

by admin on August 24, 2008

On August 31, 2008 Buzan iMap Version 3 is being released.  This release includes an amazing number of promised enhancements:

  • New enhancements like Microsoft Office and Open Office integration
  • Project management integration
  • Exportable scalable Vector Graphics
  • vastly improved speed
  • new sketch pad capabilities
  • and a long list of additional enhancements

I use other mapping software programs - and all have their own benefits.  Busan’s imap system - has the most organic feel - and most closely relates to the manual way of doing a mind map - The ability to manipulate, draw, use colours quickly - is so much like using coloured markers - it makes the whole process alot of fun.

If you haven’t tried a mind mapping software before - and if you want to give imap a try - The Buzan folks have a free 7day trial and if you are reading this post before 31Aug08 - they also have a limited time offer you may want to have a look at.

Mindmapping Software for Rolodexing

by admin on June 26, 2008

Here is a colleague Sherman Hu Showing his personal mindmapping software to keep track of his life.  Sherman is using the personal brain.

Brain is excellent for doing non-treed mind maps.  Me personally, I am a daily user of MindManager - which helps me organize using a treeing format.  But for my own personal learning of complex subjects I use a non-treed mind map.

If you want to watch an excellent use of non-treed mind mapping and you have 15minutes to spare- give this video a look (its in 5 sections of about 3minutes each)- and see how you could use this kind of brain approach - is could be an excellent format for story telling.
