This is pretty cool if they do it, it will make finding new shipwrecks a whole lot easier. But like Google Mars, I’m not exactly sure how they are going to sell ad space on it. The company has assembled an advisory group of oceanography experts, and in December invited researchers from institutions around the world to the Mountain View, Calif., Googleplex. There, they discussed plans for creating a 3D oceanographic map, according to sources familiar with the matter. The tool–for now called Go

I’ve been curious about mind mapping and how it might help me with my work. I did a search on Web Worker Daily for references to mind mapping solutions to see what my fellow bloggers have said in the past to help me vet out the best software or site for my needs. That’s where I saw some mentions about bubbl.us, a Web-based “brainstorming” application. Before I proceeded testing out an application, I wanted to have a better understanding of what mind mapping was all about so I went to Wikipedi

An enterprise software project kicks off with much fanfare, and eventually the application rolls out. Management wants to know the usage of the application, and the effectiveness of the application that IT spent considerable efforts building. Finally, when the metrics come in, it’s not good news.

It took a while to get the model set up, considering the wicked table and field names they cooked up in the DBA dungeon, but after some swearing and too much caffeine, it's done. The model which is smiling back at you is what you had in mind. Rain slams against the window and the DBA you have heard about bu

In the latest public preview of Microsoft's Dynamic Data, they've added something else besides what's publicly advertised: support for 3rd party O/R mappers!

Delver, a search engine that deciphers your social network, is still in private beta. Google is reportedly working on social search

These two group maps were created last week by the participants of the Idea Mapping Certification Workshop. The topic was "Uses of Idea Maps." Each person started with an individual 4-minute brainstorm of all the uses they could think of for Idea Mapping. Then I broke everyone into two groups. The groups then merged all of their ideas onto one map. The interesting thing to me is that given the same topic, each group chose different main branches in categorizing the uses.Idea Mapping Success
