Mark Durieux who teaches sociology and writes a book on social networking uses Context Organizer for Mindjet MindManager.

This is what Mark wrote about Context Organizer for MindManager:

“I thought you’d like to see something of how I’m using Context Organizer. In the first case (http://www.ourstory.com/thread.html?t=363005#448785), I used Context Organizer to help sift through an enormous amount of information regarding the recent cartoon racism controversy which, for many, linked President Barack Obama to the shooting of a chimpanzee in Connecticut. This was all over the internet for at least a couple of days and I had collected more than 40 single-spaced pages of excerpts and links.

In another case, I looked at the incident of the 3 year old boy who rode the NYC subway all by himself after leaving his mother at a McDonald’s (http://www.ourstory.com/thread.html?t=362728#448291).

Again, this was all over the internet and I’d collected many pages of excerpts and links. At any rate, the point is that I have developed a workflow that lets me identify major ideas and themes in those huge compilations and then, around those themes and thanks to Context Organizer, quickly identify key sentences saturated with key words. From there , it is only a matter of minutes and some rearranging until I’m able to turn the meaningful and "rich" condensed information into a useful summary. Thanks a million for this terrific piece of software!”

Gijs recently started to use Context Organizer for MindManager and dropped me this note:

It is a wonderful program to work with MindManager 8. Today I had an amazing experience. I used it to set up a presentation about "Making innovation work in organisations" . I mindmapped some keywords; I used in Mindmanager 8 the Google/Yahoo linker, got the top 10 websites, inserted into Context Organizer, got from the summaries new ideas and aspects to consider and also new keywords for further search. In 1 1/2 hrs I got an broad overview on the subject, …and some home reading work for weeks….but by using Context Organizer it should be much, much less.

New Work and New Work Skills by Tony Karrer

1-Sentence Summary*

A recently released Workplace Productivity Survey, reported by MSNBC, had the following findings: 62 percent of professionals report that they spend a lot of time sifting through irrelevant information to find what they need;

68 percent wish they could spend less time organizing information and more time using the information that comes their way.

Indeed, the key in dealing with volumes of data is to be able to select smartly what in fact is relevant and useful versus fluff.

One of the technologies that helps with weeding out irrelevant information is automatic text summarization. Summarization is kind of speed-up reading condensing web pages, emails and documents into keywords and summaries presented in context.

By pointing to the most important content, it allows the readers to make quick determinations if they want to read the full text.
