5. Facebook page

Facebook is great for updates, as it is unobtrusive and you can give immediate feedback.

Please promote our Facebook Page to you friends and family.

It is a great way for them to stay updated with the latest information on everything you need to know about creating and using Mind Maps to learn faster and easier.

All updates to our site, as well as our blog, are posted to our Facebook Page, so you will always be informed of what's happening.

Make learning and using Mind Maps a part of your Social Experience. In this way learning and growth becomes a natural part of you life and stops being a laborious effort.

As information on Facebook is fed in bite size chunks and you only read what catches your eye, you are in complete control of the situation.

6. Twitter

I am very active in the online Mind Mapping community, you will get updates and links to important information as I come across it.

Twitter is the fastest way to get information into the market. If you haven't tried Twitter yet, give it a go. The great thing about Twitter is that you only have to read what you want to, as it just gives you the headlines. The information also comes to you, so you are only receiving information that you want to receive.

If you don't like the source - kill it, and it's instantly removed.

Twitter can be a great time saver to give you the information when you want it and how you want it.

We publish all of our Blog feeds to Twitter so that you can simply browse the headlines and only visit the page if you like what you see.

7. Focus of the month - Key Words on Mind Maps

While Tony Buzan, the inventor of Mind Maps, insists on one Key Word per branch, most Mind Maps out there do not conform to this principle. This has resulted in a term 'Buzan Mind Maps', to differentiate Mind Maps based on his principles from the rest.

This opens up the door to what a Mind Map is, and what a Mind Map isn't.

As explained in my article, I struggle with always using one Key Word per branch and often break the rule. I has not stopped me from using Mind Maps and has actually made my Mind Maps more useful in many cases.

I would like to hear your opinion on the matter. Read the article and give us your feedback. You could use our Contact Form, or even publish your own story on our website.

Until next time - Think about those Key Words...
