Brainstorming Ideas: Old vs. New

Posted on January 17, 2013 by Danielle

In elementary school, we were taught the writing web to enhance and organize our initial ideas. We put our main idea onto a piece of paper, circle it and all the details that pop into our heads. Eventually, we end up with a sheet full of words, circles and lines.

Using my ebook project as an example, I think we can all agree that web writing isn’t pretty.

In today’s technologically advanced world, we turn to documents and apps like ^IfMine to develop our ideas. A brainstorming session can look like this, rather than the web of words above.

At ^IfMine, ideas can Evolve over and over again and the thought process can grow as you invite others to join a project.

Where to Share Your Ideas

You have an idea and want to share it.

Where do you go? Thanks to the ever-expanding Internet, there are an assortment of outlets available for your choosing.

Twitter. This micro blogging site is a perfect tool for connecting with like-minded individuals. You get to follow your interests in live time and share your thoughts whenever you please. Although you’re limited to 140 characters per status update, it’s a way to tell the world what’s on your mind.

Facebook. Love it or hate it, this social network brings together families, friends from the past and the people most active in your life right now.There’s more room to chat on Facebook, but most people are there to relax, kill time and have fun.

LinkedIn. The opposite of Facebook, LinkedIn is where you go to show off your professional side. Use it the right way and network with people in your industry to gain recommendations and determine your next career move.

^IfMine. Like the choices above, you can say a little or a lot and choose to make your ideas public, private or restricted to specific individuals. What makes this platform different is the evolution factor.
