Have you ever required a Mind Map on the spur of the moment when you're already equipped with the text?
Text2Mind Map is the perfect tool for this. In the left side of the screen, a text entry area lets you enter your information. Use the TAB key to indent levels to organize your thoughts. As the text is entered, the Mind Map is created in the centre of the screen on the fly.
While the original results are symmetrical and balanced, your mouse or finger on the SMART Board quickly creates a new layout shape.

It's quick easy to get locked into a single way of thinking about search. You know the routine - go to Google and type in a keyword and see what happens.
Viewzi takes the concept of a simple search and adds all kinds of visualizations and different ways at looking at search results. Rather than looking at a single list of results rated using one algorithm, Viewzi opens your eyes to new ways to see results and to find results that you may not have been expecting.

For those of us who couldn't make it to Europe this summer, the Arounder website displays virtual tours in three dimensions. It's very engaging and gives you sites and views that you might otherwise have missed.
However, the real gem in this collection for me is the 3D imagery of another location - the moon. Enjoy the high resolution images from Apollo 11, 12, and 17.
