Francis Pisani has alread written on his blog about ''The Brain, respectively he has done an interview with Hugh Harlan, the founder of the company behind the software. And as it seems it Mr. Pisani a great fan of this tool. I had the honor of having a few lectures from him at the University of St. Gallen. One task we students had to fulfill, was to provide discussion material and maybe some answers to a question with the software. And so did I use The Brain. You can see on the screenshot of how my tiny brain looked after a week.

As I have tried, I would say extensively, the software I can tell you some things about it.

My girlfriend recently told me that her home city, Kreuzlingen has a new homepage, since a few weeks, to be more exactly since the 5th of Decembre(see the press release), and that she does not like it. She requested me to have a look on the page and maybe write my opinion into my blog. And here I am, writing about the new homepage of Kreuzlingen.

To be honest, at the first look this homepage looks nice. By the way it has been implemented by a local web and advertising agency. So what images and layout is concerned, are they pretty good, I like the layout. Nice colors, fonts are easy to read and clearly structured welcome page, with a big search engine entry field on the lower left side.

When we look at the second page (to reach when clicked on the "Weiter" hotspot-area in the top-image of the startpage) we see again a clearly structured site, with a big tag cloud. Again a nice feature originating from the Web 2.0 trend. And again the big search engine field at the top.
