Burg http://randgaenge.net/?p=2749 Big news on my side!

Only a few days ago I joined MindMeister, a web-based mindmapping and productivity tool as Marketing Manager. I was always a heavy mindmapper occasionally taking a hiatus to go with other note-takers but always returning to mindmaps as a formidable helper for getting things organized and making it visible/presentable to me an others. Eventually after my desktop app NovaMind crashed continuously on launch I decided to dare a straight step in to web-based mindmapping. Back then – after carefully evaluating 3 or 4 products – I decided to go with MindMeister – see this post from May 2007. Since I also wanted to convert my fellow co-workers and partners I needed a service I can trust. MindMeister’s pricing plan (put aside the user experience and feature set and the discount ;-) and service convinced me finally. So we became the third firm that signed up.

Funny thing after becoming kind of an evangelist we started talking about a possible collaboration just as I returned from my gig with Playyoo only to agree to enter a formal relationship with Aug 1. I’m very happy to be part of a very ambitious international time that’s dedicated to make the world a better place. And to push the notion of software as a service while providing a paramount user experience center stage.

As an entry gift we do offer you an free premium account for 6 months. In order to get it please register with http://mindmeister.com and then forward me your username. I’ll take care of the rest. So come forward and become a MindMeister.

By coincident it happend that I was interviewed the very first day with Mindmeister. Not about mindmaps but about the web and social phenomenons part. about Microsofts’s findings on the subject of the six degrees of separation and marketing issues in general.

Burg http://randgaenge.net/2008/breakfast-note-zoho-invoices/2722/ I thought I give Zoho Invoice a testdrive right after breakfast. I was looking for such a service for a long long time. There are of course desktop apps – like iRatchet (for Mac) – out as well as server based like Simpleinvoices. But none of those share the ease of customization, the feature richness, and the simplicity with Zoho Invoice. The server is a little slow right now – that’s the only drawback I’d say.

For a small firm this app is perfect – as long as you can live with the fact that your data resides not on your premises.

[Update:] Exporting and printing is shit.
