Two weeks ago, Jamie Nast and I were co-presenters on a webinar conducted by VizThink, the online visual thinking community. A video and MP3 audio file of our presentation is now available from the VizThink blog. Over 150 people participated in this session, making it the largest webinar that VizThink has ever conducted!

You can obtain the mind map that contains the resources I referred to here, and the examples that Jamie referenced in her remarks here.

Thanks to Tom Crawford at VizThink for giving us this excellent opportunity!

This morning, I was a co-presenter with Jamie Nast (author of the book, Idea Mapping) on an idea mapping webinar produced by VizThink, the burgeoning community of visual thinkers. During this one hour session, we covered a number of topics, including:

What makes idea mapping different than mind mapping
How idea mapping works in sync with your brain’s associative capabilities
New features and functionality in today’s mind mapping software
The rise of web-based mind mapping applications
How to get started in mind mapping

I have posted an image map of my presentation here, which contains links to the resources I mentioned during my remarks. The entire webinar should be available on the VizThink Blog early next week.
