My coworkers created a fun &quot;ad&quot; for xMap showing the problem it is solving here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPu68JvQvaw" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=wPu68JvQvaw</a><p>It all started with one of our directors asking me to spend 1 hour estimating how long it would take to build this: <a href="http://blog.xmapit.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/approx-may-2013-sketch-from-Jerry-1024x720.jpg" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.xmapit.com&#x2F;wp-content&#x2F;uploads&#x2F;2015&#x2F;02&#x2F;approx-may...</a><p>Then our company had their own &quot;shark tank&quot; competition, which we didn&#x27;t win and we made this poster as part of our presentation (sorry about the blur): <a href="http://blog.xmapit.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/xMap-Shark-Tank-Poster.jpg" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.xmapit.com&#x2F;wp-content&#x2F;uploads&#x2F;2015&#x2F;02&#x2F;xMap-Shark...</a><p>The idea is to stop planning things with a wall of sticky notes connected by string but have a tool designed for organizing info via tags.<p>We have started a blog (not yet linked to from home page): <a href="http://blog.xmapit.com/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.xmapit.com&#x2F;</a><p>I&#x27;d love your feedback!<p>Thanks!

Minor issue with the page: I think you meant &quot;poring over data&quot; (not &quot;pouring&quot;). [0]. Other than that, this looks interesting and I must check it out when I have more than my phone with me.<p>[0] <a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/top-ten-lists/top-10-commonly-confused-words-vol-1/pore-pour.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.merriam-webster.com&#x2F;top-ten-lists&#x2F;top-10-commonly...</a>
