Skype 4.0 Released Today

I have been a long time user of Skype and was glad to learn that Skype 4.0 was released to day. With nearly 15 million users Skype has become an indispensable communication tool for both educators and professionals to connect with one another for free. I was just on Skype yesterday with John England from Mindsystems,who hails from Australia and had a great conversation about Mindsystems Amode, a new information management software application that is under development. The Skype connection was crystal clear and we spoke for about forty minutes for free- which is incredible. With Skype you are able to reach out and touch folks across the globe and interact and meet people that would not be otherwise possible. Whether you are doing a video conference call or Instant Messaging as I'm doing now with Henry Lewkowicz from Context Discovery you will find Skype to be and incredible tool.

I did learn today that Skype has released version 4 of their software with an emphasis on video conferencing, improvements in voice quality, and interface enhancements. Here are some more information that was gleamed from the Skype blog:

• Improved video calling – With the changes we’ve made, video calling in Skype 4.0 for Windows is the next best thing to being there. A new built-in bandwidth manager ensures that you have the very best video calling experience possible, even on a low bandwidth connection. If you have a fast enough connection (recommended 400 Kb/s or higher) and a high quality webcam, Skype delivers up to 30-frames-per-second High Quality Video at full screen.
• Calls and instant messages are easier to manage – video and voice calls, as well as instant messaging, are all easy to reach in a single window. The new Conversations tab makes it easy to hold multiple conversations at once, and to switch quickly between video and voice calls, instant messages and SMS. This is particularly beneficial for the power users among you.
• Call quality is substantially improved thanks to a number of under-the-hood changes. Calls sound richer and clearer than ever thanks to support for Super Wideband Audio with compatible hardware. The bandwidth manager should ensure that you have crystal clear calls even when bandwidth is low.

Enjoy and download the new version and try it out!

Mindsystems ThemeReader Business is Released

I just received this email from Mindsystems that I thought you would be interested in. I did post a review of Mindsystems ThemeReader earlier this month which you can find on my blog. Mindsystems ThemeReader used in conjuction with MindManager is a very exciting piece of technology that can scan your documents and then output them as a MindManager map.

As you have already evaluated some of Cirilab's technology, we thought you may like to know that the latest version of the popular MindManager® / KnowledgeLink® addon, Mindsystems ThemeReader Business has just been released!


This breakthrough new technology will take your planning capabilities
to a whole new level. Mindsystems ThemeReader is the latest advancement in information management. Based on years of high level international research, this new technology is actually able to scan information, determine common themes and convert it into a visual MindManager Map or KnowledgeLink Tree. You can summarize and convert 100 page documents in seconds. Information that used to take days to understand can now take minutes, all at the click of your mouse!

Great for quickly understanding complex documents or 'unlocking'
information that is buried inside traditional Word® files. Up to 20 different
formats supported including Word® integration, PDF, HTML Web pages and WordPerfect®.
