Pathway for Wikipedia (Mac)
My brother-in-law just showed me this cool little app for Mac called Pathway that works somewhat like Visualthesaurus but with a whole new perspective – for browsing Wikipedia.
With pathway, you can basically browse Wikipedia, while visually see how your topi is related to other topic titles. Click on those related titles and you’ll see the Wiki for that topic, plus its related keywords. At the very end, you’ll end up with a semantic chart of related keywords.
This application is very useful when doing brainstorming for ideas, or expanding knowledge about how various things are interconnected with other domains. I used to do this with Visualthesaurus to explore various aspects of design (both in graphics design and application design). Now, I have Pathway!
Here are some screenshots:
