Mindomo XMind 2007. Online Mind Mapping

There is abundant software mind mapping mind maps or . In fact, this blog is largely dedicated to reviewing such programs. The program says now is similar to most programs I've reviewed mental maps, but has a difference that makes it quite unique: Race Online, ie you run it from your browser. Mindomo, the name of this program for mind mapping is programmed into Flash. When run from a browser, it does cross-platform. I tried it with Safari on Mac OS X, but it is certain that their performance will be the same on Windows, Mac OS X or Linux either from Firefox, Explorer or another browser.

Mindomo, according to his website, is a mind mapping tool, Web-based software capabilities desktop mind mapping, but put into a Web browser without the need for complex software installations or maintenance.

According to its developers, to edit and share mind maps.

Mindomo is available in four "versions": A Basic version free. A version called Premium, Business, and a final one focused on education.

program can be accessed by going to mindomo.com. The free version requires registration. Anyway, if one wants to see the functions you can select the "Demo" while not allowing themselves to save or export can see how how it works.

Works any program for modern mental maps. That is, supports drag and drop to rearrange the map, including ornaments and pictures. Text can be formatted. You can add notes. Collapse the tree of ideas, to present each idea or going to focus on the core. You can add arrows to connect ideas and highlight a group of them in the mental map. It also allows for tasks with time and date of completion, and includes verification of the status of the task. It feels much like a desktop application or even the toolbar is typical of desktop software, though looks pretty "Windows." A good program for creativity Web 2.0 asks nothing to most of mind mapping programs.

DEVONthink

Now it's time for a program but seems aimed at children, serves well for all ages. StarLogo TNG is, that is, as its developers say, the next generation of StarLogo, the simulation and modeling software. StarLogo

support for the creation and understanding of complex systems. One of the advantages of StarLogo TNG is that it lowers the entry barrier that means scheduling, making it easy. reminds me of "Cocoa" although it is clear that StarLogo is a broader sense. Like "Cocoa" or Stage Creator introduces children to programming tools that help them build or game programming. It is gratifying to creating complex 3D worlds that serve to processes for enriching a simulation game created by the child or adult.

StarLogo is based on Java and runs on both Mac OS X and Windows and is being tested for Linux. The program includes 3D medel MD · (Quake 3) and a terrain editor OBJ formats in addition to its powerful and innovative visual programming language.

Like its predecessor, StarLogo (now OpenStarLogo), is an environment to model and explore the work of decentralized systems (systems that are organized without an organizer, coordinated without a coordinator). With StarLogo TNG can be modeled (and get better understanding) of many real-life phenomena as the behavior of flocks, the "bottlenecks" or get stuck in traffic, ant colonies, and even the market economy. Do not forget we're talking about a software program for children;)

is worth noting that the management of decentralized systems of patterns can occur without centralized control. There is an upward trend to opt for decentralized models both in organizations such as technological models. However, too many people are resistant to these ideas and assumes that we need a leader with a centralized control where it is known that there is (such as birds flying in flocks. StarLogo TNG helps to understand a world of decentralized system.

StarLogo is definitely a very good piece educational software that helps improve the understanding of the world, cognitive performance and creativity . And best of all it's free. It is not OpenSource, but at least it's free.

Bratwurst In Electric Frying Pan

StarLogo TNG, manage your information

. A program for the digital life.

DEVONthink is an information manager that stores, sorts, indexes and manages files such PDF, MS Word, images, Internet links, movies and text files in general.

For those who have ever used Mac OS X, the program will be familiar, since Finder is a kind of focused on the management of information. Technically making DEVONthink is to organize information and create databases with files generated within DEVONthink or external files added to its base. Initially

reminded me Scrivener, however, despite the many similarities and customs purposes seem different. Scrivener is more focused in assisting with your database to the process of writing, while DEVONthink seems to be of more use general.

While the program has different modes, most of the presentations are panels where one of them contains the files (PDF, JPG, TXT, etc..) And another to deploy the file information .

Just drag a file acceptable to the panel to be incorporated into the database. If it is necessary to convert the files to an editable format. For example, Word files, being sent to the database are converted to RTF, with no apparent loss of formatting, allowing editing within DEVONthink.

The word processor allows editing of these with a minimal but acceptable format and for those who like minimalism and work without distractions, is a configurable option that can work with all black screen with green letters of the text without further distraction, no panels, no menu bars, free wallpapers, etc. . Only the text and black background (or the desired configuration)

A welcome feature in the PRO version is optical character recognition (OCR by its acronym in English). When testing this feature, what I did was drag a png image (or jpg)-with text within the image, and ask him to become a PDF text file. This same file can be converted to RTF or TXT. You can also convert an image into text when imported to the database

Web links are navigable and work exactly like a pregnant looking into Safari.

The indexing is pretty good. Find the words with very good speed, but does not seem able to find words that are not exactly equal to the sought. For example, if there is only the word "review" and writes a magazine, can not find the file. However, to find a file it is able to locate related files automatically.

One advantage is that it can be located in a single database all the material for a type of information without having to look in different places photographs, emails, web pages, or movies. Furthermore, the view within DEVONthink allow the material, makes it necessary to launch additional software that is working. In this sense, to test the program we can see that productivity can be increased by making better use of information to have it always present. Although well organized by folders in the computer allows the like, it is also true that it is now possible to achieve the level of integration achieved DEVONthink.

One drawback I see is that information tends to double. For example when you drag a PDF file or QuickTime, it will on the original site and create a copy into the database we are working.

probably journalists, writers, scientists and writers are the most suitable candidates for this program. Although it is possible that could work very well for the exclusive management of digital information without text. Anyway who need to organize themselves to work in the creation of documents or information management can be a good option to try this program that has many more features than enough time to write here.

The program can be obtained at devon-technologies.com

Mindjet MindManager Mind Mapping iMindMap usable

I
to test the latest version of MindManager for Mac OS X. Definitely a good mind mapping program . MindManager What makes a good program? Usability.

Usability can be defined as "the efficiency and satisfaction with which a product can meet specific targets to specific users in a specified context of use" or as "the ability of software to be understood, learned, used and be attractive for user under specific conditions of use. " Well, that is MindManager and have it well done. Admittedly

NovaMind has been my favorite program for Mind Mapping , however I must admit that MindManager 7 for Mac OS X has a level of usability probably higher but the maps are visually inferior.

Pros: It's pretty intuitive. A generates a new branch enter or topic. Anywhere in the document where there appears double-click the new branch. You can navigate between topics through tab. A topic can be moved easily to another and make it a sub-topic. Bring also incorporated several mind mapping templates. Not only that, but can also be incorporated into the map is a map prefabricated part of the library of images, backgrounds and mental maps. All library materials can also be appended to the document drag and drop within a topic or a sub-topic.

Another advantage is clear respect to guidelines for Mac OS X interface Apple has been characterized by an excellent interface and operating system programs. MindManager has a clear consistency with the Mac interface For example, the "inspectors" of the program are quite similar to what one finds in Keynote or Pages .

While the level of usability is outstanding, one of the problems is the lack of flexible, you can not move a lot of topics, the organization of these is quite structured and not as organic as a mental map is not typical or the beauty of NovaMind. Any form is a wonderful program.
