How To Expand the Use of Mindmapping: Vic Gee Picks a Winner!

Saturday, December 6th, 2008

In a previous post, I highlighted a mindmapping competition in which Vic Gee, author of the Mind-Mapping.org Blog, asked mindmappers to give him their best thoughts on how to expand the use of mindmapping.  Over the past few months, several mindmappers, including myself, posted their thoughts on Vic Gee’s blog.  

On December 5, 2008, Vic picked a winner.  I encourage you to take a look at all the entries and find out whose idea won.  Click here.

Mindmapping Can Help Everyone

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

On October 14, 2008 I posted the following: “Vic Gee, author of the Mind-Mapping.org Blog, has put forth a very interesting proposition to those interested in mindmapping: Give him your thoughts on how to expand the use of mindmapping and if you’re creative enough you could win a free license of Buzan’s iMindMap software.  All you have to do is write a post or provide a mindmap on his blog no later than November 3, 2008.”

Today is November 3, 2008 and Vic Gee has decided to extend the competition until December 3, 2008.  So by all means make an entry before the December deadline.

Here’s my contribution to the competition:

There are two major ways I think mindmaps can help everyone:
  1. They help you capture information visually via relationships, colors, and graphics.
  2. They help you transform the way you manage information.
I think the more people who understand the usefulness of mindmaps to capture, organize and manage information – the more people will use mindmaps.

Let’s Expand the Use of Mindmapping!

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

Vic Gee, author of the Mind-Mapping.org Blog, has put forth a very interesting proposition to those interested in mindmapping: Give him your thoughts on how to expand the use of mindmapping and if you’re creative enough you could win a free license of Buzan’s iMindMap software.

All you have to do is write a post or provide a mindmap on his blog no later than November 3, 2008.

As he puts it, the objective is to put forth an idea that helps “…achieve exponential growth in the numbers of people doing mind mapping.  This needs an idea that will motivate committed visual information mappers and at the same time can leverage the whole mind mapping community to get the word out, explain, demonstrate, tell stories, show all different styles of maps, all uses.

I’ll be entering a mindmap into Vic’s contest.  I hope you plan to do the same.  Click here to enter your post.
