COOL DIAGRAM SOFTWARE

This was really fun to play with.  First, I made the diagram (on Gliffy; above).  I used basic shapes and direction orientation of images in order to suggest a concept of personal growth and self-realization. Not sure it is proportioned or labeled exactly right. But, I think the flow allows someone to understand something of the way I think of myself.  The graphics were very basic and I could have made a much better diagram in Power Point.

Then below, I used Mind Map to brainstorm about anything that came to mind.  It was really fast and reveal a lot about of what I had been thinking on, over the passed couple of days.  Both were fun.  Enabled me to be creative and express concepts, not very easily explained otherwise.

Documents on the WEB.  Is Microsoft in danger?

I general, I played with most of the features I use to compose a Microsoft Document in Word.  I liked both ZOHO and Google Docs.  Both of them were very similar and seemed to be modeled after Word, so that the transition from Microsoft is easy.
I loved the fact that it automatically saves on the Google Drive as you work and you can work on your projects from anywhere you have internet access.  Very Cool!  Plus, they don't take up room on your hard drive.
Overall, I feel Microsoft still has the market cornered in terms of advanced editing and presenting them in the standard acceptable format.  As a result of this project, I think I will start using Google Drive, not only for storage, but also for document production.
