The New Blog for the New Year

Hello and happy new year to all Biggerplate members and anyone else who happens to stumble upon this blog!

As you can (hopefully) see, I have finally pulled my finger out and replaced the old and largely redundant blog at Biggerplate.com with this new and rather more useful version from Blogger, which I hope will encourage me to make a more concerted effort to keep things updated from now on!

My hope is that I can use this blog to forge much better links with the many different people that are using Biggerplate everyday. There are certainly a great many of you, and I feel I have been far too slow to utilise blogs and other online tools in order to communicate with you about the various interesting projects that you are all working on, as well as talking with you about what might be done to Biggerplate to make it a more useful tool for you.

Within this blog, I hope to talk about a wide range of topics, broadly focusing on entrepreneurship, interesting projects and people, and of course Biggerplate, MindManager and visual Mapping in general. Through speaking with Biggerplate members, I know there are a number of great ideas and projects being worked on around the world, and I am therefore wary of focusing purely on mapping, as I would like this to be an area where we can discuss what people are working on, regardless of whether it is immediately releted to visual mapping! My theory is that people who are using mapping as a way of working, and particularly those who are using MindManager and Biggerplate, will be forward-thinking people who will almost always have something interesting in the pipeline that may be of interest to others! I hope some of you may take the time to link up with this blog, and if you have something you'd like to tell people about or talk about via this channel, please feel free to get in touch with me.

I would like to wish all Biggerplate members, and anyone else who happens to read this blog a very happy and prosperous 2009!
