Did ReverbNation Finally Get It Right?
By Nick Daugherty | February 3, 2008
Last week while researching Facebook apps, I ran across the all-new ReverbNation.com, and spent some time test-driving this new “indie artist empowerment tool.” Now, I’m not easily impressed these days, but they’ve made a believer out of me.

Finally, A Visual Thesaurus For Visual People
By Nick Daugherty | January 18, 2008
I always liked the idea of a thesaurus but when I’m actually trying to write something, somehow I don’t find most of them the least bit helpful. But here’s an online tool I just love:
Visual Thesaurus by Thinkmap, Inc. generates visual trees of related keywords, sort of like a mind map. You type in a term and rich word trees spring up. Then you can click on the next word and the next word and the tree continues to morph.
I just finished a new song and I think I used it six or seven times to find just the perfect word.
There’s a free demo and a yearly membership is a paltry $20. Give it a whirl.
