mindmanager and google

The mind manager weblog has the heads up on the updates google add-in for mindmanager. It allows you to seach a topic in your mindmap on google and display the results in a branch of then topic.

To tell you the truth I don’t see me using this feature. I just cant see the benefit for the way I use mindmanager. Perhaps someone could enlighten me on how you would use it for better productivity.

Background
A few of our power users have noticed that their Google Smart Map Part in MindManager X5 Pro has stopped working.  We saw this too and concluded that it was caused by either a change to the Beta Google Web Services, or a change to the Microsoft Soap Toolkit that the smart map part uses to communicate with the Google Web Service.  That change could have been introduced by a recent Windows Update.

We have something better!
If any of you have downloaded and looked at the
MindManager Accelerator SDK you would have noticed that there is a sample Add-in project with source code that adds Google searching to MindManager X5 Pro’s topic context menu.  This add-in requires the installation of the Microsoft .Net Framework, if you haven’t installed it already.
