About 5% of visitors to this blog who found it via a search engine were looking for SmartDraw, a visual design and flowcharting tool for PC’s. I’ve used SmartDraw for several years and was even an Affiliate for a while. When the 2007 version arrived, there were several complaints from the market and many customers wound up on my site and made their comments about SmartDraw 2007 here.
I’ve just been informed by Paul Stannard, CEO of SmartDraw, that the company has launched the SmartDraw Blog.  So go ahead and tell SmartDraw what you like or dislike about their products and services, because markets are conversations and it’s better late than never to join in.
If you’re interested in Business Graphics, please come by, check out the blog, and leave a comment. If there’s a subject you want me to write about, send me an email through the blog form. I think the blog format is a better way for us to communicate our message without being so in your face about the product.
If you like it (or don’t) let me know!
Those of you looking for a Mac-based business graphics solution should really take a look at OmniGraffle and OmniGraffle Professional from the fine folks at Omni. No affiliation (not even kick-back links!): just a happy long-term customer.
There are some interesting online tools now as well, including bubbl.us and best4c.
I like SmartDraw though, ever since I got it free with a magazine a few years ago!
