10.07.07Easy tools for Web ConferencingI had two very different experiences in the last few weeks which showed how valuable web conferences can be when working with distributed teams in projects, or for that matter for any technical issue that you need to work on over a distance. The good experience: I had an issue with a portfolio management tool that we are deploying, and after setting up a web conference with the software provider's support team, I was able to show the actual problem happening, my logs, talk to their support people... Overall, just about the best we could get without the ...

Or just ignore and move on :P

08.08.07New Features at Comapping reviewedComapping has released some new features to their excellent online mind-mapping tool, and they asked me to take a look and write a few words about it. Took me a while to do it (seems like everything does lately), but finally I managed to give this the attention it needed to come up with a decent (I hope!) review. Comapping is one of the better online mind mapping tools, and I first heard of it while researching for the first series of mind mapping tool reviews here at Daily Iteration. The newly added features were really important things that ...

07.31.07ConceptDraw MindMap 5 Professional - Another Mind-Mapping Tool ReviewedApparently someone has been reading my posts, because in the last weeks I received invitations to test out three different tools in areas related to my previous posts. The kind folks at Comapping invited me to check out the new features they have launched - I will do it, as soon as I have time! I also got asked to review a new online project management tool called Wrike - again, I'll get to it... And, last but not least (and not actually last in chronological order), Igor from Concept Draw sent me a free ...

05.23.07Mind-mapping revisited: two more reviewsI'm returning to the topic of mind-mapping tools motivated by some comments in my previous post on the subject. Two web-based tools were recommended to me, and since they have atually changed my choice of solution, I thought I'd share this with everyone. The new tools are Mindomo and Commaping. Comapping Comapping was recommended at Web Worker Daily (they had a link to me, I've been linked to by one of my favourite blogs, yay!), and I must say it is impressive. Lots and lots of features: importing and exporting map files, collapsing lists, the ability to create ...

05.13.07Mind Mapping Software Review - organize your ideasFollowing up on my recent post reviewing a number of freely available, cross-platform GTD applications, I now present short reviews for a few mind-mapping tools. Again, the criteria were: The tools have to be free (at least as in beer), and The tools have to be cross-platform, either web-based or run in Windows and Linux. I'd love to be able to test also on a Mac, but unless some kind soul decides to give me one, I'm limited to these two platforms for the moment. After some quite extensive searches, I arrived at the following list of tools to test: Web-based: Mindmeister bubbl.us Desktop Freemind Labyrinth Compendium One ...

05.07.07Top 5 GTD computer toolsI have been trying to get David Allen's famous productivity method, GTD (Getting Things Done), to work for me, and in this effort I have tried numerous tools to help me along. Some of them rely on computers to run, others do not. However, since I spend most of my day in front of a computer, I found that a computer tool suits me best, since then I don't have to "switch environments" to take notes or check on something. Here are my experiences with what I would choose as the five best tools to use daily: Nozbe Nozbe ...
