eBay: IDEA CREATION TECHNOLOGY -- BRAINSTORMING SOFTWARE MAC

ParaMind creates in seconds thousands of idea combinations that are
directly related to the idea that you type on to its screen.

ParaMind is the only software program built on a theory advanced
enough that you can use it to easily brainstorm for all purposes. It
works on subjects from creative writing to law to marketing and even
scientific inventions. The process is simple and easy to use and has
been well-received since it was first introduced back in 1992.

We have just released our ParaMind 1.1 for Mac OSX. Included in this
auction is a CD that contains Version 1.1 for OSX.

We have received much positive user feedback.

ParaMind was mentioned in the book, "The Age of Spiritual Machines:
When Computers Exceed Human Intelligence," by Ray Kurzweil.

Paramind was also noted in the book "Creative Problem Solving for
Managers: Developing Skills for Decision Making And Innovation," by
Tony Proctor, and in the book, "Ideate with June A Valladares" by June
A Valladares

It was also mentioned in "Root Cause Analysis: Simplified Tools and
Techniques," Second Edition by Bjorn Andersen, Tom Fagerhaug

ParaMind is also mentioned in "Guide to Writing Empirical Papers,
Theses, and Dissertations" by G. David Garson. This book states:

"ParaMind is another type of brainstorming software. It works by
generating new text from your writing, thereby expanding on any idea
based on one of hundreds of built-in related word chains, to which the
writer can add. As such, it goes beyond common "writer's helper"
software that may ask the writer questions related to his or her
subject, flow charting that writer's concepts or generating random
word combinations that provide idea variations typed in by the author.
In ParaMind, a single sentence or paragraph can be expanded and
permuted into up to 100 pages of related statements. In simple "merge"
mode, ParaMind operates as a sort of thesaurus, suggesting substitutes
for words the writer highlights in text. However, in "large merge"
mode, many pages of new, reworded relationships are generated,
providing feedback on hundreds of new relationships and associations
relevant to the concepts contained in the author's original text."

"ParaMind lets you take an idea and expand it into multiple related
new ideas. You give it a single input and suddenly you're given
responses that trigger your creativity. It's a powerful and elegant
way to brainstorm concepts and solutions."

Dr. Evan Stark, Ph.D., President. Message Science, Inc.

ParaMind Brainstorming Software for Mac OSX is the first creativity
package for Mac OSX that works with words. ParaMind Brainstorming
Software for Mac OSX offers you an instant way to generate new ideas.
While other types of creativity or creative thinking software require
a steep learning curve, or are merely sophisticated flow charts,
ParaMind for Mac OSX is easy to use. Some brainstorming programs give
you a list of questions that you have to answer, making you do all the
work, or give you synonyms or common associations like a thesaurus.
Many of the expensive brainstorming programs are simply combinations
of all these ideas in one program.

In a few minutes or less of key clicks one sentence or paragraph is
turned into up to 100 pages of related sentences. It's a great and
easy to use creativity tool.

ParaMind copies any text you type or paste into its screen and
systematically merges your text with new words. The words are all
related, such as adjectives related to sight, or adverbs related to
walking. In the text that you type or paste in, a word or two is
selected where these new words will fit in, in the way that you want.
The result is a new listing of your idea changed in several
fascinating ways.

Everyone knows brainstorming is a buzz word today in business, and for
good reason. Without fresh ideas, inventive writing gets harder and
harder. ParaMind makes one of the leading brainstorming programs on
the market, and it is the only brainstorming program used by creative
writers, as well as scientists and businesses.

From Inc. Magazine "ParaMind Brainstorming Program. A great way to
brainstorm ideas on almost any topic."

From Ziff Davis: Paramind Brainstorming Program: Just the thing for
the sole proprietor, this program is an idea multiplier. You enter
them and the program replaces words or fills in ideas to help you
expand your horizons. The AutoMerge feature will generate up to 100
pages of sentences related to your initial idea.

"A truly GREAT program!" -- Don Davis


"Paramind is a trusted workhorse, friendly sidekick and a powerful
verbal tool. I've used it to "unpack" ideas into their comprising
components by, for example, using a keyword and follow certain
"threads", as it were. Example -- "relationship is based on mutual
trust" turned - after some *massive* selection - five or six
stunners!"

"I have also used Paramind to form "neural threads" - a line, or
stream, of ideas that are seemingly unconnected, yet prove to be able
to open some mental block. Example -- I've done some work on the use
of DNA testing - and using PM I came up with a whole range of ideas
related to DNA - such as hereditary problems, historical "urban
legends" and much more!"

"I'm a content editor and 'creative contentsmith' on Africa's largest
Content Hub (come see us - http://iafrica.com). We have over 10
million access per month."

"We serve content in units of information (for example - a news item)
and these units form a single content thread within "neural"
contextual networks. PM is great for this purpose because it unpacks
sentences so that each word can be replaces with another word that's
semantically equal to it on a vertical level. It helps with the
process of brainstorming all creative / lateral choices involved in
the kind of work I do."

I am a researcher/artist from Brazil. My work is strictly academic. I
am very interested in Paramind, as a process, as a linguistic theory.

I have long admired your software. It is ingenious! Jan Justesen



"I am looking forward to really starting to use Paramind more. The
manual is very helpful and I'm enjoying reading about the philosophy
behind Paramind."
Larry Kahn

"ParaMind is an extremely unique program. I write as a hobby, and when
I get writer's block or can't think of a topic, I just fire up
ParaMind, type whatever I'm thinking, and expand it. A great
creativity booster with a neat interface. It was definitely worth my
registration."
Don J. -- from Softseek Website


"This is a MAJOR piece of software!"
Mick D'Aquin-Burglass

"As a graduate student of the Department of Educational Technology and
Research at Florida Atlantic University, I am interested in your
brainstorming product for a project I am working on. ParaMind has an
interesting/powerful philosophy for creative solutions. I look forward
to learning more about the possibilities behind the software."

ParaMind works differently than any other writer's helper on the
market. ParaMind was built on the new idea of brainstorming by getting
every idea that can be expressed in language by "meaningfully
exhausting the interactions of words" in any given subject area.
Unlike other brainstorming programs, you can configure ParaMind to
suit your individual needs.

ParaMind was created to help businesses, technical specialists, and
writers of all kinds. It can also teach young students about grammar
concepts while helping them develop their own ideas. It works with
related word chains that are broken down into the parts of speech. The
user picks their own words from their own sentences and the program
replaces and merges them for up to a hundred pages of new ideas.

ParaMind is a serious yet fun program that operates on the principle
of generating new text from your text. It is totally configurable and
can be used to logically expand any idea. It comes with a database of
500 related word chains, and you can add as many of your own as you
like. You can paste in text from any Windows, Unix or Mac program into
its editor to logically expand the text in infinite ways.

In a few minutes or less of key clicks one sentence or paragraph is
turned into up to 100 pages of related sentences. It's a great and
easy to use creativity tool.
