MindJet's MindManager Version 7 InkShow, "A trip to Cancun"

- Dennis Rice

Well, the MindJet team just keeps rolling right on producing great software. I don't mean software that merely functions, I mean software that innovates and meets great current expectations for interface, functionality, etc. With the introduction of MindManager Pro Version 7, they have really kept their reputation for great software secure.

In this GottaBeMobile InkShow, I have taken the beginning of a real life planning process, and used it to show you just a few of the ways this application can assist you in planning, brainstorming, integrating different processes, etc. Splotch and I (oh yeah -- and my wife also) are headed to Cancun in a month or so for a week on the beach in an all inclusive resort. I'm excited. I am also excited about the fact that I have a great tool like MindManager Pro Version 7 to help me plan the journey. I literally use this tool every day in my personal and professional life to keep my head straight on what all is going on. The process of using mind mapping is one that should be taught in every school, even prior to college. The process is great, but the tool needs to support it well, and MindManager from MindJet does that. I demo a number of great features of this product, but there is no way to show it all.

As I use the tool to plan my trip, I spend a little time sharing how to brainstorm, use ink and the keyboard, import, export and synch Outlook data, use other data sources, etc. to make the process better. If you do not have any experience with mind mapping, or MindManager, it is worth taking the time to check out, especially to see the end result of a process that takes lots of details and help get it organized.

Oh yeah, there is a special bonus as well. If you watch this show, you will also get to hear me sing a bit. Never mind what Splotch says about my voice, it's not that bad -- really. Enjoy the show.

I like MM7 and I use it at work (XP) a lot. That being said, you'll find plenty of complaints about it's problems with Vista support in their own user forums. It apparently is designed to work (and tested) with the business versions of Vista, but not Vista Home Premium.

Just an FYI...

@Frustrated,
Really sorry to hear about the Vista Home Premium issues, first I had heard of that. I have only run it under Vista Ultimate and XP. Hope they get those issues solved quickly. That being said, I have been using this product in various versions for years, and it continues to be one of the best written pieces of software I have used. The mind mapping concept is one that all should try, and this software supports it well. I have yet to use it in a brainstorming meeting with others where it did not get a few "wow's" for really helping the process.

@Eddie,
If that is a bid to go with me to Cancun, it's not gonna work. Me, my bride (and maybe a stowaway Splotch) are gonna go this trip alone. I'll take pictures though if it will make you feel any better. Can I use your camera? :)

I love MindManager and use it often. Recently, I got turned on to an online mapping package called http://www.mindmeister.com , where you can create, import and export maps as well as share & collaborate online with multiple users simultaneously! The free account will get you started. You can choose to make your maps private orpublic, and for a fee, you can setup https privacy, and add some additional features. Check it out!

It's possible to import & export content between Mind Meister and MindManager. There's even a Vista sidebar tool that will Zap content into your default map as you happen to think of it.

Excellent ink show...I just got a copy of MM earlier this month, so the timing couldn't be better. Learned a lot in a short time! Thanks!
