Edistorm – New Online Brainstorming Application

If you are one of those brainy heads who is looking for an intelligent conversation with other intellects, Edistorm is the place for you. If you haven’t tried Edistorm yet, you can sign up with this online, social, brainstorming application for free and indulge in some brainy conversation and interaction.

Edistorm is a web-based social brainstorming application that serves a platform to create and record brainstorming sessions. Inspired by Thomas Edison’s idea factories, the name Edistorm has been extracted from the name Edison and the word Brainstorming.

Once an account is created on Edistorm you will be asked on what kind of storms (in short referred to as brainstorming sessions) you wish to create or attend. Once that’s done, a new blank canvas will appear. To the left of the canvas you will be able to see sticky notes. Type on the note and press add note once you’re done. The note will then appear on your canvas where you can drag and drop it into place.

Yellow notes can be added in every storm by using massive canvas. The color of these notes can be changed while they can also be moved around for better organization or placing ideas according to their priority. You will also have the option of keeping a session private or public. These  storms enables users to share with unlimited people. Some of the notable features of Edistorm include: inviting people for sessions via e-mail, facilitating individual and group brainstorming sessions and enabling users conveniently prioritize ideas.

In addition, the web-based tool has some additional features and abilities that can be very interactive for class-room training. It helps organize ideas in a real-time interactive wall and can be used by the whole class through an interactive whiteboard. In short, Edistorm takes the metaphor of sticky notes on a boardroom wall and brings it online allowing anyone, anywhere to brainstorm with only a web browser.
