Graphic Organizers and Knowledge Management
It is interesting to me how some of the cutting edge developments in computer and other electronic devices are adopting the idea of using concept maps to organize ideas.
One example is found in the Zodiac 2, really sexy PDA using Palm OS 5.2 which has adopted this concept for organizing content.
Kartoo is a UK based search engine which searches for your key words but presents the information in a relational, graphical way.
Visual thesaurus likewise is a thesaurus which presents findings in a relational, mapped out way. To put it in their words, "Looking up a word creates an interactive visual map with your word in the center of the display, connected to related words and meanings."
If you use Flickr as a photo hosting site, you might want to visit FlickrGraph. Flickr Graph is an application that visualizes the social relationships inside flickr.com. It makes use of the classic attraction-repulsion algorithm for graphs. Start exploring your contacts by entering your flickr username or the email address you used to register there.
