Seit April 2008 existiert eine weitere kostenlose Mind Mapping Software unter dem Namen: Cayra. Der Funktionsumfang reicht nicht nicht ganz an die kostenpflichtigen Profiwerkzeuge und auch der kostenlosen Konkurrenz FreeMind heran, ist aber schon sehr beeindruckend. Punkten kann Cayra mit der sehr schön gelungenen Optik. Die erstellten Mind Maps und die Oberfläche der Software sieht sehr ansprechend aus. Cayra stellt die Zweige sehr organisch dar und macht es dem Benutzer sehr einfacht optisc

So that might not be the awesome name that they’ll be using, but CNET is rumormongering about Google cooking up something oceanographic along the lines of Maps or Earth. Their speculation includes this lovely image from the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO) of Columbia University. Unlike most people with a heartbeat, I didn’t find Google Maps particularly interesting on arrival. I was a fan of the simplicity of Yahoo Maps at the time (but no longer, eek!) and Microsoft’s Terraserver ha

Moving 2.0: More than 30 services to help you relocate April 30th, 2008 Sometimes I feel like people might think we talk the talk, but don’t walk the walk when it comes to using some Web services. Believe me when I tell you we use this stuff every day, and over the last month, nothing has been more useful to me than Craigslist. Why? I was moving, and I did 95 percent of it using a single service to find movers, boxes, people to buy and take away old furniture, and most importantly–a place to

According to a report on Web 2.0 blog Mashable.com, Mead Corporation recently launched a new web-based mind mapping tool for students called MeadMap.

Web analytics and Twitter: An incomplete story April 30th, 2008 Hitwise released research this week reporting that Twitter had a nice relative growth spurt this year. The key word is relative. The site grew from a market share of a whopping 0.0005% (U.S. Internet visits to Twitter.com) to 0.0016% in April. That places the Twitter.com site at number 439 on the list of social networks. I’ll bet if you try to name the 438 social nets above Twitter you’ll run out of gas well before you hit 50.

We have spent much time exploring the many ways in which advocates can use mapping to highlight the social isolation and segregation from opportunity of their client communities, among other things, and advocate for positive change. (See REP Blog mapping archives.) However, mapping is tool available to everyone and, as this story may suggest to you, can have its downside, especially when applied to groups racialized as prone to radicalism and violence.

Can You Optimize For Semantic Search? April 30th, 2008 Google is deploying “universal search” – a comprehensive search result that provides semantic results from multiple content sources. Given that a Google search will produce relevant Web pages, blogs, photos, videos, audio clips and other media types when a user types in a search term, can you really optimize for semantic search? In a word, yes. Optimizing for a semantic search - Yahoo! will be using semantic search algorithms, too – is

Apologies for the flurry of posts here in the last 24 hours, I’m trying to get things up that I’ve left in open browser tabs knowing I wanted to capture them someplace useful beyond my del.icio.us bookmarks. This topic is pretty neat though, because it’s really so simple and yet has high wow-to-effort ratio.

According to their press release, they are now commingling MLS, FSBO and Foreclosure listings on one map… and this has me scratching my head! Are they allowed to do this? Isn’t this type of commingling of listings against MLS rules? Notice the purple and pink icons… Those are REO (foreclosures) and FSBOs, respectively (green icons are MLS listings). I have four ideas about how they are able to get away with this: They found a loophole in MLS agreements that let’s them commingle listing

Lance A. Bettencourt and Anthony W. Ulwick have developed a method called “job mapping,” which breaks down the task the customer wants done into a series of discrete process steps. Authors think that this efficient yet simple method could help companies find new ways to innovate. Authors argue that by deconstructing a job from beginning to end, a company gains a complete view of all the points at which a customer might desire more help from a product or service – namely, at each step in the job

At the core of the disruptive innovation theory developed by Harvard Business School professor Clayton Christensen is a simple principle: Companies innovate faster than people’s lives change. Most organizations make products that are too good, too expensive, and too inconvenient for many customers. This happens for a good reason. After all, managers are trained to seek higher profits by bringing better products to the most demanding customers. But in the pursuit of profits, companies overshoot

Admittedly I have completely missed the boat on blogging about the Google Static Maps API which was launched back in February, but I was reminded of them the other day whilst working on a site admin panel. As the maps I wanted to display were only a small addition to the panel providing a quick snapshot of a location, using the full JavaScript API would have been rather unnecessary. This is where the static maps prove very useful and are an easy and quick addition to any web page, whether or
