Hi Everyone,

Mindjet has partnered with ThisNext on a great contest (from now until January 31st) you’ll want to participate in, so I’m spreading the word to our fellow customers and bloggers here first! Check it out at: http://www.thisnext.com/email/newsletter/20070124/.

It’s a new year and with our New Years resolutions come much reflection on how we can improve ourselves both personally and professionally. Because productivity is an essential part of achieving goals in 2007, we wanted to hear YOUR secrets to boosting it.

Tell us the essential items you use to keep yourself functioning at optimal performance (including, complimenting or in addition to MindManager, of course!) and you and your team could win complimentary copies of MindManager, to further increase your productivity and collaboration efforts as early as February 1st.

ThisNext makes it easy for you to recommend, share and discover new great products, so entering the contest is simple:

Just go to: http://www.thisnext.com/email/newsletter/20070124/ to create a badge for the productivity product you want people to know about. Badges can also be converted into HTML coding to be posted on any blog or website, if you’d like to showcase your entry there. The contest ends on January 31st. Also make sure to read the official contest rules at: http://www.thisnext.com/contest/rules/).

Lastly, visit the ThisNext Productivity Page to see what products others are using to boost THEIR productivity in 2007.

Good luck!

Phillip Michaels of Macworld has just blogged about the "What to do in SF" map. Thanks, Phillip!

We are still looking for more cool things to do. So if you have any ideas, please send them to our inimicable Gaelen O’Connell at gaelen.oconnell@mindjet.com. Thanks, Ian, for giving us a head’s up about Peter Hook at the Supperclub. We’ll add that to the map.

As I commented below, we know there are some viewing issues in Safari and Firefox. We are working on them. Thanks for the head’s up.
