ThoughtOffice Tops One Million Words and Phrases for Creative Professionals - Brainstorming Software Boasts Major Upgrade

ThoughtOffice, the innovation & creativity software program, just expanded the database for Word Associations from 144,000 to over 1,000,000. ThoughtOffice.com, the parent company, sees major boost in creativity, brainstorming, writing and idea generation from the flagship application.

Portland, Oregon (PRWEB) August 30, 2005 -- Breakthrough creativity and brainstorming can often hinge on a single word association... a phrase or colloquialism that helps launch an a-ha moment. ThoughtOffice.com (http://www.thoughtoffice.com) today releases the second major upgrade of the summer with the addition of over 900,000 words and phrases to their ThoughtOffice (http://www.thoughtoffice.com/?page_id=5) software, bringing the total number to over 1,000,000.

"When we were developing the popular IdeaFisher (http://www.thoughtoffice.com/?page_id=8) software programs, we realized the power of associations within the 65,000 word and phrase database we used in that system" says Mark Alan Effinger, Founder and Chairman of ThoughtOffice.com. "So we scaled that to 144,000 word associations within ThoughtOffice. But adding over 900,000 words and phrases to the mix has taken the Word Association paradigm to new levels".

The ThoughtOffice IdeaBrowser (http://www.thoughtoffice.com/?page_id=224) is a "stream of consciousness" creativity engine that uses words, phrases, popular search engine key-phrases and images to help explore ideas and peripheral thinking in a fast, organic way. The IdeaBrowser ties directly into ThoughtOffice to collect the ideas in a more linear presentation, making the creative process effortless and effective (the two programs are bundled together and operate seamlessly in passing information back and forth between them).

"Our experience indicates that brainstorming using word associations is one of the fastest and most effective creativity processes known" comments David Lockman, Product Specialist for ThoughtOffice.com. "Client feedback on the new and expanded engine is extremely positive, and they are commenting that it measurably increases both the quality and quantity of creative output when using ThoughtOffice".

ThoughtOffice(tm) software utilizes questions, comments, web links, words and images to develop creative solutions to everything from screenwriting to product development, marketing to advertising and branding. A mix between mind mapping and outlining, the program takes the wildly unorganized creative process and organizes it automatically, allowing creatives to get more productive and share their ideas more effectively.

The program comes as either a Macintosh OSX or Windows 2000 / XP program, and ships with a set of eXpertTopic(tm) modules that provide in-depth queries in 16+ areas of expertise. ThoughtOffice is priced at $99 to $499 and is available online at www.thoughtoffice.com.
