As it isn't I'll just recall it from memory, I believe Adam showed it to us as a class when his group are doing there presentations about alternative to PowerPoint. As I recall it was a fairly nifty graphical way of displaying information connected by "nodes" I had thought it was one of the more aesthetically pleasing presentation tools. It seem seems to me to be a way of essentially using the mind map format but with the interactive angle of bringing able to navigate physically around it. If I had to give presentations with a large amount of different pieces if information and wanted to particularly display their interconnectivity I would definitely consider this software.

Reflective bubbl.us

Bubbl.us is essentially a lightweight but effective mind mapping tool that is available online. Is in't free but it is cheaper than some more developed software of this type. If you find mind mapping helpful then this tool may be of use. I see the benefit of digital mind mapping over analogue being that, amongst other things, your mind maps can become huge and complex whilst still being easy to read and manipulate as well as being able export them in to software such as Microsoft Word and have it reformatted in to a different shape, This can be great for writing large complex works. Personally in my own practise I already use MindView which though more expensive is much more comprehensive. Therefore personally, bubble.us isn't something I will use but I can image others using it to help plan and organise themselves.
