Comments on: Uncloaking: Imindi http://siliconflorist.com/2007/12/07/uncloaking-imindi/ Covering the blossoming startup industry in Portland, Oregon, and the Silicon Forest Tue, 22 May 2012 00:07:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Adam Lindemann http://siliconflorist.com/2007/12/07/uncloaking-imindi/comment-page-1/#comment-540 Adam Lindemann Sat, 08 Dec 2007 13:58:55 +0000 http://siliconflorist.com/2007/12/07/uncloaking-imindi/#comment-540 Hi Rick, thanks for the post. Yes you are right, Imindi is not just a mind mapping tool. Mind Maps are a wonderful way to visualise the natural associations of thoughts in the human mind and that is why we use this metaphor for the input and output of data on the system. What is great about Imindi happens when you add the social networking and relational dimensions to the mix to form a "Thought Engine". These layers ensure that one person`s mind map can actually be connected with any other person`s mind map on the system thus enabling like minded people to connect, share their thoughts and collect intelligence. If you consider that much creative thought takes places when knowledge cylos are broken down and ideas from different domains are allowed to combine and connect - you can see the amazing possibility that Imindi could very well become a global platform for not just collecting intelligence but creating knowledge.
