SAN FRANCISCO -- Mindjet Corporation, the leading provider of productivity software for visualizing and managing information, today announced that its newly released Mindjet(R) MindManager(R) 6 Mac has been selected by KMWorld as one of the top "Trend-Setting Products" of 2006. The annual list is part of the September 2006 issue of KMWorld, available today at newsstands and online on September 1.

"This year's team of editorial colleagues, analysts, and users analyzed over 1,500 products from 300 vendors for consideration as Trend-Setting Products of 2006, and the resulting winners demonstrate exquisite execution as knowledge management solutions," said Hugh McKellar, editor in chief, KMWorld.

"It is particularly gratifying to receive recognition from a cross section of KMWorld editorial team members, industry influencers and end-users for the newest of our products, launched in May," said Scott Raskin, CEO, Mindjet. "By the nature of its easily understood visual interface, MindManager gives business professionals and teams technology to make information and ideas easier to capture, organize and put into action. Whether used on a Mac or a PC, Mindjet software helps people focus on creating new ideas, managing projects more efficiently and gaining a more strategic overview of their business."

The company's MindManager product line enables individuals and teams to visually connect and synthesize ideas through an intuitive interface integrated with XML, HTML and the Microsoft Office suite of applications, including Word, PowerPoint(R), Outlook and Project and now Excel(R) and Visio(R). With the launch of MindManager 6 Mac, Mindjet further enabled teams for cross-platform performance and collaboration. As MindManager maps created on a Mac can be opened, saved and edited in Windows, and vice versa, MindManager 6 Mac unites Windows and Mac teams who can now easily capture, organize and share information following strategic planning or brainstorming sessions.

The top products for 2006 were selected for their ability to radically increase the productivity of any type of organization and were measured in terms of usability, flexibility, adoption rate and total cost of ownership.
