Using YourOtherMind 2013

This page contains basic instructions on using the idea platform, YourOtherMind.

The core concept behind the platform is that YourOtherMind allows users to create Layouts. These layouts may be tagged with various search keywords and other filters (for easy searches, later). On layouts, users add notes of various types.

The core interface of YourOtherMind itself is a layout, with the user actually modifying “system” notes, to customize their experience in the environment, standardizing the interaction experience.
