After its presentation at Virtual Worlds Best Practices Conference (March, 13, 2010) , Brainflowing have been updated. Thus, to the main 5 functions that Brainflowing had, two more have been just added.
Both are related with the use of language. One makes possible writing properly and accurately in the board (words will be not separated, will be displayed smartly, depending on the free space available in the board) and the other, allows us to use the Brainflowing for brainstorming in six different languages: English, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish. (You can see on the image created by Draceina Pinion some of the characters that you can use by brainstorming with Brainflowing)
Until now brainflowing was thought for brainstorming in English but we have integrated the suggestions from people who bought it and now Brainflowing has incorporated the philosophy of Second Life: many languages and cultures sharing the same space.
Brainflowing allows us to
1, Display on it the words provided by participants.
2, Send by email the text displayed on the board.
3, Show URLS for encouraging or managing participants
4, Display on the local chat the brainstorming done. Then, the ideas proposed by participants can be copied and pasted into a notecard or just for remembering the contents proposed by participants.
5, Brainstorm by anonymity. This means that participants will not know who is the author of each one of the sentences, words, ideas showed in the board. This function was added taking into consideration the common resistance that we have for expressing what we think because we are shy, because we are not sure about our ideas or because we do not want to put other angry.
6. Displaying the words in a smart way.
That means that words are not separated, avoiding possible errors in the interpretation or reading of the ideas presented. Thus, Brainflowing have being
improved for displaying the words together, adapting to the space that is free in
Brainflowing.
7.Apart from English, you can now brainstorming in French, German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish.
