About the Visual Mapping Review Series 2014

I’m doing a review series on visual mapping software, but I’ve got a lot of programs to check out.

I’ll download the software, spend at least 1 day with it, and then use it to create the review video.

I’m also going to use the software to get some actual work done.

Make sure you subscribe to my channel to have the rest of the challenge delivered to you.

spider-scribe

This is my Spiderscribe review.

Spiderscribe is a cloud-based visual mapping tool. You can add text, documents, images, locations, and even dates to your visual maps.

Spiderscribe has a unique look to it, and sometimes it feels almost like a flow chart because of how it's laid out.

In this video I'll show you some of the things I like about Spiderscribe, and some of the frustration point I came across while using it.

Mohiomap Review (Visual Mapping in Evernote) – Visual Mapping Review Series 2014

Mohiomap-review This is a review of Mohiomap. It's a visual mapping program that takes all of your Evernote information and turns it into one huge visual map.

Since so many people use Evernote, I thought it would be good to go over Mohiomap, to see what it can and can't do. I had a fun time using Mohiomap, and I was able to find some neat the applications for it, but I also ran up against a few limitations.

I’ll go over everything in the video.

Mindomo Review – VMRS 2014

This is a review of the Mindomo visual mapping program. This program is actually a triple threat. It has a desktop application, it has a web interface, and it's also available on mobile devices, although sadly not for the iPhone.

This review is part of the Visual Mapping Review Series 2014.

The Mindomo Mega-Review

In this review I'll put Mindomo through its paces and I'll let you know what I like, and what I don't like. I ended up going a  little overboard on this review and made a 17 minute video. At least you know it’s thorough. LOL.
