I am finding Mind Manager v7 to be very slugging and a CPU-hog on my laptop. Mindjet, Are you listening? Are you doing something to take care of this problem?

Betsy Fanning of the AIIM Standards Watch is requesting Best Practices for Email Management through a new community they've set up. They are looking for suggestions as to what the group should discuss. I've got a few thoughts, of course.

Dennis Kennedy has a discussion / rant on the trend of every software application to decide that it needs to automatically update itself and screw up your machine.

I've been having some trouble with mail to jackvinson.com bouncing to the senders. If this is happening to you, I'd appreciate your letting me know via jackvinson AT comcast DOT net.

I am compiling a list of academic programs that have knowledge management courses or programs.

Will the search engines highligh pages that have been tagged with a term that doesn't otherwise appear on the page?

I am going into my third round of teaching a knowledge management class in Northwestern's Masters of Learning and Organizational Change program. I'm looking for suggestions and guidance on this topic: what works well, where do I need to tread carefully.

I have recently received an iPod Nano. I have been collecting digital content for many years, so my library is many times larger than what fits on the device itself. How in the world do I use iTunes successfully under this situation?

I've seen a number of articles recently on a variety of systems that let people ask questions and have them answered by "experts." Those experts could be biochemists on a email list somewhere, or technology enthusiasts on the million-and-one online bulletin boards / newsgroups, or it could be the average Joe who happens to know just the right thing in order to answer a question.

I have this "friend" who is really into steam trains. Does anyone know of a good resource for short videos online?

I'll be paying attention to other things (family) for the next couple of weeks, and have programmed a couple future blog entries to make it seem like something is happening here. I will start the break with a bunch of questions that have bugged me and I can't quite figure out where and how to ask about Outlook and other tech.

Ask and ye shall receive. MindManager maps are searchable. And a long-silent blogger has popped up elsewhere.

Has anyone figured out how to make MindManager mind maps searchable?

Has anyone come up with a tagging tool for personal use? I'd love, for example, to be able to quickly retrieve all my photos with my wife in them, regardless of date or location.
