Spinscape, a subsidiary of BOSSdev, and visionary application developers, launched Spinscape 2.0 on January 25, 2010. In the weeks since its launch, Spinscape 2.0 has won great acclaim from current users as well as aficionados in the collaborative and mind mapping worlds. Spinscape 2.0 was developed in just five months. Product manager and lead developer Mark Salamango made finding, organizing and sharing Spinscape’s lead set of asset priorities. The belief that people could use Spinscape 2.0 as a daily social conduit was a driving factor. Spinscape 2.0 is “always-on” (web connected), infinitely enhancing the user’s potential. The primary objective of the application is to make people more effective in every endeavor from playing, to socializing, to learning, and working.

Salamango relates, "I thought we were on to something pretty cool when my nine-year-old daughter was using Spinscape’s node lids as flash cards to study for two tests. When she came home the next day with 100% on both, I knew we had something cool." Salamango is also engaging developers to brainstorm new Spinscape 2.0 plugins. For example, over a dozen students from Lawrence Tech University in Southfield, Michigan, are teaming with Spinscape to imagine, design and implement new plugins under his direction. Spinscape 2.0 will be ever improving as a result of a “sprint” development philosophy. This philosophy allows Spinscape to respond directly to market needs as they emerge. Market needs are reviewed by the Spinscape board, then prioritized and implemented according to perceived urgencies. Look for numerous new features as Spinscape 2.0 evolves in the future.

Chuck Frey, the prominent and well-known author of The Mind Mapping Software Blog reports that, “Spinscape 2.0 illuminates the future of mind mapping.
