What is a node and what's in a node, you ask? Well, nodes in Spinscape are like containers. Really! There is SO much you can do with and put into a node. You really need to see this video to use your nodes to their full potential.

The plugins palette offers easy access to several web-based sources of information. Find out how easy it is to search for, select, and add information instantly into your map.

You can't wait to show your boss the result of your latest brainstorming session. And you need to collaborate with your team on a new project. Sharing maps and nodes with others as viewers and collaborators is as easy as 1,2,3!

Search instantly through everything you have access to within the application and the Spinscape database for maps, nodes and contacts. Use the radio buttons in our global search window to filter information quickly. Try the Advanced Search option for a bigger look at the results, more in-depth information about your choices, and related actions.

You CAN access your google docs & spreadsheets--even data stored in your amazons3 account--and add your information straight into your Spinscape maps! Save your account login information in our Plugin Manager and Spinscape will use it to retrieve information upon your request.

Adding Contacts in Spinscape facilitates collaboration by allowing Premium users to take advantage of drag and drop sharing and to facilitate real-time chat.
