| 1. Visual Bookmark Manager | |
| You’re navigating the Web discovering great content. Why bury it in your favorites list and folders? You can think of PersonalBrain as a creative bookmark manager on steroids. Create a few categories of Thoughts and then drag and drop any URL into your PersonalBrain. Now you can conceptually organize all your Web sites and even add notes for each web site. | ![]() |

| 3. Capturing Expertise and Special Interests | |
| Now, let’s get specific. What do you love? What do you browse the Web for or talk about over lunch? You need to create a Brain for your special interests. Are you an avid diver, strategy gamer, environmentalist, or maybe animal lover? You can store all your ideas and online references in your Brain. Once it’s all mapped out, you’ll be amazed how clear and insightful it is to see all your ideas and information on your hobby. PersonalBrain becomes your ultimate reference. | ![]() |
| 4. Competitive Intelligence and Product Development | |
| Creating charts in documents and spreadsheets won’t provide you with the same insight as a Brain on your competitors. Create categories for key markets and product dimensions and link to their Web sites. You can also add any files you have about the products to each Thought. Since TheBrain’s interface is associative you can categorize information under many different dimensions. This is ideal for market analysis, as often one product falls under many categories. For instance, TheBrain’s “PersonalBrain” might fall under downloadable software, mind mapping, and visualization software. PersonalBrain’s unique associative interface enables you to have one topic under many categories. | ![]() |
| 5. Research and Analysis | |

| 6. Event Planning | |
| PersonalBrain is an ideal tool for organizing business and life events that involve many different information sets and possibilities. For example, organizing your vacation or creating a travel section within your Brain is very popular. You can create Thoughts for key destinations and drag and drop all relevant Web pages from the best hotels to main attractions. It’s also really useful to create a Thought for airlines and use the notes section (below your Thoughts) to type in all their phone numbers so they are always at your fingertips. If you are buying a house or just relocating, your Brain can become an essential partner. You can link everything from your escrow, house inspector, moving companies, even information on new hardwood floors and contractors. Getting married? Looking for a new job? Get out your Brain and get it together. | ![]() |
