Mindmanager 8 Released

Mindjet this week released version 8 of its popular mind mapping software Mindmanager. See http://www.mindjet.com/ for details, software available through !nnovabiz at http://www.innovabiz.com.au/ (send an email).

For people who need to make the most of their time at work but are inundated with information , MindManager helps you focus on what's important with a visual canvas to capture information, organize it, share it, and use it to act on a wide variety of business tasks.

Unlike today's productivity tools that force business thinking into linear outline-oriented docs, working in MindManager keeps you in the most effective mode so that you can quickly transform information and ideas in action.

One really neat new feature is the Mindjet Player, which lets you share maps with others who don't have the software. The maps can be embedded in pdf files or in web sites and are interactive with collapsable branches, resizable window and active hyperlinks.

The example below shows a mind map created with Mindmanager 8, on the topic of getting more traffic to your web site.

SlideShare App Launched on LinkedIn

This email, received from the SlideShare team, introduces a really neat feature. Worth checking out!

Hi Jürgen

We would like to invite you to share presentations on LinkedIn.

With the SlideShare app on LinkedIn, you can display presentations on your LinkedIn profile. You can browse presentations from your network and find out what's going on with your connections.

You don't need to upload your presentations twice. Just sync your LinkedIn and SlideShare profiles and all your SlideShare presentations will start showing up on LinkedIn.

How to add SlideShare LinkedIn app (learn how to)
1. Go to the SlideShare App
2. After installing app, click on the tab: "Share on SlideShare.net"
3. Put in your SlideShare username & password, and viola! All your presentations
will appear on LinkedIn.

Some things to try:
1. Share your expertise by uploading your latest talk slides.
2. Evangelize your company or product by sharing presentations about it.
3. Make your LinkedIn profile come to life with a slide resume. If you haven't already, go Meet Sarah.
