I’ve been waiting for something like this

I signed up for the beta of something called Scrybe a while back, months and months back in fact, and have never been given a login, too late I guess guys! Scrybe interested me in that it did offline synching of your data so you could work offline. Anyway, looks like Google are about to 0wn3rzd you…

Google Gears (BETA)  is an open source browser extension that enables web applications to provide offline functionality using following JavaScript APIs:
- Store and serve application resources locally
- Store data locally in a fully-searchable relational database
- Run asynchronous Javascript to improve application responsiveness”

Mindmapping round-up

I received this comment below to a previos post, it’s pretty useful so I’ve reposted it. Thanks Vic.

If you want to have a list of all the on-line mind mapping tools, I think this list is complete as of today:

Web of Web ::  http://www.webofweb.net
Mindomo ::  http://www.mindomo.com/
Bubble Mind ::  http://www.bubble-mind.com/
Bubbl.us ::  http://bubbl.us/
MindMeister ::  http://www.mindmeister.com/
Kayuda ::  http://www.kayuda.com/
Mapul ::  http://www.mapul.com/
Comapping ::  http://www.comapping.com/
Mind42 ::  http://www.mind42.com/

not mind mapping tools but can do mind maps and they’re web based:
Gliffy ::  http://www.gliffy.com/
Touchgraph ::  http://www.touchgraph.com/ (an odd one — read-only mind maps of relationships between web sites)
Thinkature ::  http://thinkature.com/

Web based but not Web 2.0 - expensive
ForceTen ::  http://www.eedo.com/products/forceten.html
Thinkmap ::  http://www.thinkmap.com/  (read only)

For people interested in archeology, the very first web-based mind mapping tool, a precursor to Web 2.0 and now long gone:
Mayomi ::  http://www.mayomi.net

Take your pick!
Cheers

Google Maps Street View

Verdict: FRICKIN AWSOME. (though I was involved in a project in 1996-99 that I like to think blazed a trail in some of this stuff, in a well, low budget, academic kind way)

Fucked Company 2.0

So in celebration of the fact that First Tuesday are returning to London and the inevitable carnage that will ensue, I’ve taken the liberty of re-branding FuckedCompany.com, y’know, so it’s all web 2.0′ish. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you:

Participation Marketing .co.uk

So the other blog that I write for occasionally, participationmarketing.co.uk, i.e. the one where I work, now ranks number 1 on Google for the search term participation marketing which is what the blog is all about, participation marketing, which is nice.

Importance Indicator

Well according to Google Images I am the most important person in MRM Worldwide. LOL!

Someone please take these up, Campaign, are you listening??? Mediaczar » Blog Archive » Some draft ideas for a column: “What can marketing professionals learn from porn, gambling, and terrorism? Surely there’s something to learn from these masters of media control and marketing?”

Whassup Y’all welcome to the Tax Rap…

Via Church of the Customer a compilation of ‘citizen media’ competition winners run by several brands including Intuit and Southwest Airlines. Worth it just to see my man Vanilla Ice in an Uncle Sam glitter top hat.

Domain trading

Kevin Ham, the $300 million master of Web domains - June 1, 2007: “Trained as a family doctor, he put off medicine after discovering the riches of the Web. Since 2000 he has quietly cobbled together a portfolio of some 300,000 domains that, combined with several other ventures, generate an estimated $70 million a year in revenue.” [via cnn money]

Tabs, they make you hard and pull birds.
