MUNICH, GERMANY, March 14, 2014 (Press-News.org) Following the long and successful partnership between Google and MindMeister, which produced integrations in Google Hangouts and Google Drive, among others, MindMeister was invited to create an add-on for Google Docs, Google's web-based office suite within Google Drive. The add-on is available through Google's just released add-on store, which allows users to install and manage third-party apps and thus add new features to Google's free web apps.
"During their design and infrastructure engineering phase, Google reached out to us to discuss a possible MindMeister add-on for Google Docs," MeisterLabs Managing Director, Till Vollmer said. "We brainstormed a few different angles of how such an add-on could look like and what would add the most value to a Google document. Within about a month we developed a working prototype that would subsequently turn into the add-on available in Google Doc's add-on store today."
The MindMeister add-on was built using Google App Script, Google's Java Script engine in the cloud, and HTML Service, which enables the serving of web pages that can interact with server-side Apps Script functions. The add-on is free and doesn't require a MindMeister account. Inside a Google document, users can discover it via the new add-on store, and get it with only a few clicks.
"The MindMeister add-on is a neat little app that turns any bullet point list created in the Google document into a visually appealing MindMeister mind map," Till Vollmer explains. "All the user has to do is select the list and choose the command 'Insert as Mind Map' from the add-ons menu. The map that is generated adopts the exact hierarchical structure used in the bullet point list. It appears in the document within a few seconds, after which the user can modify its size, position and other features."

Mediation and Divorce
2014-03-14
When two people in love think about marriage they probably imagine building a home together, spending white Christmases snuggled up next to a fire, raising a family, and vacations spent in the sun. When people set out to marry, they generally do not think about the worst: standing in a court room, waiting on the judge to decide who gets what. Such a contentious situation is the exact opposite of what a marriage should be. And yet, in 2009 there were 12,700 divorces in Massachusetts, as reported most recently to the U.S. Census Bureau--more than 1,000 a month.
