XMind

Collaborative Minds!

Again, on Jan. 28, Apple brought us another big surprise, iPad. The whole world are crazy and talking over it. On Twitter, Facebook, blogs and etc, iPad has been everywhere. The only word to describe it may be “amazing”. iPad has the amazing idea, shape, design, and the philosophy.

Importantly, we also so agree with what Churk Frey has said in blog, “Mind mapping on the iPad could be incredibly cool!”.

You know, many investigations indicate that, pen and paper are still the first important tool for many people to do creative things, like mind mapping, planning and notes-taking, although there is a high-performance computer in front of them. During communication with XMind’s friends, we know that even the heavy users still draw maps on paper sometimes. Because we still like using our fingers.

iPad is totally different! It’s different than iPhone and iPod touch, which don’t suit for using mind mapping software, because of their own limitations. It’s different than Macs and netbooks. It’s even different than any other tablet PCs. It’s a brand-new platform. “It’s a game changer!”

XMind has begun the plan upon XMind for iPad. It’s brand-new, too. It’s totally re-invented. Of course, ease-to-use, powerful, humanity, and friendly will still be its character and specialty. We won’t be the first mind mapping software on iPad. You know, it’s XMind’s style. But we do believe that the XMind for iPad should become the best mind mapping software in the world. Even better than XMind for desktop!

If you have any idea about mind mapping for iPad, please feel free to contact us.

In order to collect all your requirements, to know your satisfaction of XMind very well, we have run an XMind Questionnaire.

From this Questionnaire, hope we can know ourselves much better, know the advantages and disadvantages, so that we can keep the good points and also suit the remedy to the case.

Please Fill in the Questionnaire, and Tell XMind team your feeling and requirements.

This survey will take approximately 5-10 minutes. Your responses will be kept confidential and the information from this survey will be used for market research purposes only. Thank you very much for your time.

Most people don’t normally associate mind mapping software with making money. But the fact is, it can have a real impact on your bottom line – because it enables you to think more clearly and completely, make better decisions, envision the future of your company, and more. Here’s a partial list of ways that mind mapping software can (indirectly) help you to make more money:

• Map your customers and identify the most promising ones for targeted sales campaigns
• Develop new products to sell
• Create a map to clearly and more completely understand the evolving or unmet needs of your customers.
• Analyze and improve your company’s business model
• Identify opportunities to reduce waste in your business – the savings go straight to the bottom line.
• Map your current market segments, and identify adjacent ones with similar needs into which you can expand your marketing and sales.
• Brainstorm the content of a white paper or information product (e-book) that will help you to dramatize your product’s or service’s unique selling proposition to potential customers.

In what other ways are you using mind mapping software to grow your business?

Chuck Frey is the author of The Mind Mapping Software Blog. He has written numerous articles and reviews about mind mapping software, and is widely regarded as one of the leading “gurus” of this technology.

XMind, a powerful mind mapping software, is ready to make contributions to your business.

This week, I had the opportunity to have a very nice conversation with Wallace Tait, a great Management Consultant, an expert in Visual thinking, mind mapping area. We talked about using visual thinking, mind mapping, XMind, and more. Below are part of what Wallace Tait’s say:

If your thoughts, feeling and actions are all firing together like three engine cylinders, then you get combustion, and this combustion produces results
Results are what people want, and the results are what gives people motivational movement to achieve more and more
Using a Mind map app such as XMind is an ideal tool to visualize your hopes, aspirations, wants and needs.
Have you ever seen someone using a Mind map for the first time? What they often produce, is a outward expression of their inward (subconscious) self.
Mind maps are very powerful motivational graphics, when used in the right manner, they give very tangible results
Data is made up of words and numbers, and when we humans aggregate (group) them, Data then becomes Information, and when Information is contextualized, it then becomes Knowledge, and if you use knowledge appropriately, it produces results that change everyone’s outlook on life
XMind can and does do this by the graphical nature of the mapping formats.
