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 ...

05.21.07Spock, the people search engine, reviewedSpock is, according to their own blog, a search application for people. When you visit their URL, you are greeted by a simple interface which looks like your standard search engine, but shows a few search suggestions under three categories: In the news, People and Searches. From this standpoint, Spock behaves pretty much like a regular search engine. However, start typing and you will get an AJAXified drop down list of names to search for. A couple of interesting features: search results are tagged (ah, the golden sound of buzzwords - Spock has them all), and people can add ...

05.21.07Spock - people search engine - reaches private betaSpock, a kind of search engine for finding people, has just reached private beta, and I have received an invitation. It looks a little rough around the edges, I'm getting lots of errors, but since this is the first batch of invites, I guess it's part of the game. Spock lets you search for people based on any criteria, and users are encouraged to give details about themselves to make it easier for others to find you. Check out their home page to get an idea of what it's about, I should be publishing a review ...

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 ...
