I see BrainstormWFO has already accepted Steve’s feedback, but maybe it will add motivation if I echo it from the position of precisely someone unfamiliar with the program who went to the website to check it out. I started watching the video: my experience was that it dragged, was confusing out of the gate (didn’t really get what the demo user was doing to make change happen on the screen!), and when I saw that the video was 37 minutes long, I shelved it for another day. I just was not getting enough for my time investment. And this is from a serious CRIMPer! I should also say that I am VERY intrigued by the program and look forward to a more accessible introduction to it.
Cheers,

Thanks. What’s a CRIMPer?
I think initially I was focused on getting all the info out there.
Now I’ve got to focus on bite-sizing it and putting it into an appetizing, digestible sequence.

To quote Graham Rhind’s canonical definition of 2008:
“CRIMP is an in-forum joke, and means ?compulsive-reactive information management purchasing?, and CRIMPERs are people who have this ?disease?. Basically, it described the compulsion many of us here have to try and purchase any new information management tool or outliner released, and move data constantly between them, never quite deciding to stick with any one of them.”
Good luck with the site!

A search of the archive
reveals that CRIMP was coined by Steve Z. in 2005: http://bit.ly/j0N7x1.

Ah, I had that before pretty bad.
D#$mned inconvenient and inefficient condition.
The sample workflow up on the sales page now is what cured me of it. Been stable for years now.
