Introducing the concept of Google

What is Google Concept?

Google Concept is a software tool that combines the Google search engine with a mind mapping application.

Mind mapping, also known as concept mapping, is a method used in business, training, and education to put thoughts on paper. It is often seen as being used as a means of recording project brainstorming, planning and analysis sessions.

Traditionally, these mind maps were made on flip charts or on paper, but more and more of a variety of computer programs were available that made it possible to produce maps on a laptop or desktop computer.

At first glance, a mind map would often look like a tree or a spider web. At its center is a central theme or idea. From this central theme, the lines shoot out like branches. Each line links a subtopic or topic. More lines emanate from each subtopic and link to smaller subtopics or ideas. As you move along a line from the center outward, you will see your original subject increasingly broken down into more precise concepts.

Each topic and subtopic is represented by a word, phrase, or image, or a combination of these. The power of a mind map is that a large, complex, or perhaps vague, central topic can be explored and broken down into smaller, more manageable, and tangible ideas. A mind map can also show the relationship between ideas and the original topic. Another power of mind mapping is that one’s thoughts can focus more on specific details rather than trying to deal with a big empty concept.

Essentially, mind maps deal with ideas and information. These ideas and information become more focused and specific as the topic becomes more broken down.

The idea behind the Google concept is that it takes the central topic and subtopics and treats them as keywords. These keywords can be automatically used in a Google search, the results of which can be linked to the mind map. When complete, the mind map has not only divided the original topic into subtopics, but also has links to information at each point in the form of related websites.

In this way, an entrepreneur can plan a new project or explore a new proposal using a mind map in the usual way, but also instantly has a collection of links to related websites from which to obtain more information. Including, presumably, information on similar projects, rival firms, and possible alternatives.

A student or school child could use a mind map to explore ideas about a study topic. As they break down the topic, Google Concept will provide links from which the student or learner can obtain more information and reference material to support their study.

All in all, Google Concept appears to be a powerful new tool with a lot of potential. As more and more people learn about and use mind maps, Google Concept could become a more natural way to search for information on an ever-expanding Internet.

There is only one problem. The concept of Google does not exist yet. I am writing this article in the hope that it will find its way in front of the guys at Google, who might take it and invite me to discuss it with them.
