My first impression of Gliffy.com was "What in the world is going on here?" And I'm not kidding. Wow! That website is packed full of stuff. I just didn't know which way to click or where to scroll (sort to speak). So after I tried to create a flow chart (and failed), I decided that I would just show you one of the website's examples: lunch. Of course, it's a little humorous. They had one that demonstrated the ways you could adopt Lady GaGa, but that was taking it too far for me. See, flow charts are easy once you learn how to properly manipulate them. Until then, you can just stare at them and follow where they lead.
Mindmeister is awfully frustrating. For some reason, I had a hard time with it and in the middle of working on it, it seemed like it would freeze up on me. I watched the center of the graphing area, and a small spinning circle would appear and spin as if it was loading something. I kept having to exit out and reenter. For that reason alone, I won't post what I could get done. It's sloppy looking and all I have to say is Mindmeister isn't exactly my friend. But I can tell you that it was just a little biographical thing, so as long as you read my last blog... you already know the information. But for the most part, I chose these two tools because they looked relatively easy and I didn't have to do anything extra aside from the initial account creation. Clearly, I was mistaken about the easiness of it. I'm assuming that with some practice though, and a reliable computer (ha), I will be able to successfully manuever the icons and take advantage of its high-tech appearance. Until then, who knows.
Yours,
