This is truly a post that blends some of my major areas of interest: mind mapping, knowledge management, and the semantic web. Mind Raider is a unique and useful tool that brings a semantic twist to an outliner and knowledge management application. From the Mind Raider site:

MindRaider is Semantic Web outliner. It aims to connect the tradition of outline editors with emerging technologies. MindRaider mission is to organize not only the content of your hard drive but also your cognitive base and social relationships in a way that enables quick navigation, concise representation and inferencing.

I've known about Mind Raider for some time, and think it is one of the most promising outliners and knowledge tools out there. I was just browsing through some of my older KM and semantic web bookmarks, and discovered the author published a slideshow on Slideshare. I thought I'd share!

I found a great new resource thanks to a comment on my post Digital Enlightenment: Using the Internet for Research, Learning, and Education. History Podcasts:

Looking for a History podcast? history Mp3 audio? Ipod mp3 history podcasts?

Welcome to the History Podcast page! On this page you will find links to the best History Podcasts on the net! Find audio lectures and shows on figures like Adolf Hitler, Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Napoleon, shows about world history and American history.

This page is a podcast directory to some of what I consider the best History Podcasts available. My intentions are twofold - first to create an easy database of great history podcasts, in order to provide the best historical podcast directory, and second to create pages where different podcasts on the same topic are gathered together.

I'm starting to dig back into the semantic web, and recently came across an uber-comprehensive list of semantic web applications on Michael Berman's site. Michael has a total of 578 applications listed using Simile's Exhibit.
