What a rollercoaster ride it must be for Julian Assange, eh? Half the world loves him, the other half hates him. His mum thinks he is “fighting baddies”, so we could very well have a modern day Robin Hood on our hands. With too much info floating around about what happened when, we put it all down on a neat little infographic, just to make it a tad bit clearer. Go take a peek, if you like it, share it.
Wake up and smell the caffeine!
More importantly, it’s time to wake up and read this article. Why? Because while 7,400 people get infected by HIV daily, there are 5,500 people who die from AIDS everyday. And the worst part? Every single one of us is responsible.
For decades now, the best minds the world could ever produce have been working towards a cure for AIDS, but while progress has been made, a life-giving cure is far from being discovered. While science and technology are hard at work doing their part to eradicate this dreaded disease, you and I are in dire need of a cure, too.
You see, we’re all afflicted by prejudice, fear and bigotry. Most of us revel in it, some of us spread it. What this means is that we deny 33 million people with a reason to live and to die with dignity.
The 1st of December is World AIDS Day. We firmly believe that awareness is the cure.
Think about it.
…it’s only a simple change in attitude. (Trust us, it won’t cost you a dime).
Harry Potter said it best in his latest movie – Oi! There’s a war going on here! – and, that pretty much summed up the entire film.
While we sat en masse in theatres, enthralled by the CGI and MSG (umm, Pringles) overload Deathly Hallows achieved the third best opening worldwide (in the franchise). One wonders whether Part Two will whet our appetites to wave a hollywood wand and wish a faster recovery for the world’s economy.
So while Harry takes a well deserved break and enjoys the millions earned, largely thanks to you going and watching his film, we’re contemplating his options for the next film. We thought we’d put a cynical twist in the form of a flowchart to see what his options are. Trust us, it’s sure to make a Death Eater grin.
There’s a reason why we’ve implied (above) that both wireframes and mockups share a close relationship.
But before (we explain, and) you get your brain all jittery with definitions, remember that figuring out what a wireframe and a mockup is a simple deal. The former is basically a skeleton of an interface minus the aesthetic details. The latter, on the other hand, is a model of the website in real life complete with fonts, colors, buttons, and the whole nine yards.
While a wireframe is commonly used to establish the basic structure of a site, so that a client is aware of how it will look, a mockup is just one step before the site is launched (for real) – see the relationship? There’s nothing like a diagram to show this, so take a peek at the wireframe below.
Now, sneak a peek at a mockup, again below.
Of course, with Creately offering an online platform, you are at the receiving end of a whole host of advantages. Not only do you get to create interactive mockups, but you also get to share them with your team & clients by inviting them to review & comment. You can also engage clients to iterate over your mockups to reduce project turnaround times.
So with Creately being a real diagramming-meister, you can betcha we’ll be back with more (and varied!!) wireframes and mockups in no time. Till then, run amok with them mockups!
This is an overview of all the wireframe objects that you will use when drawing wireframes and web mockups.
Table object from Creately’s UI Mockup tool is a real ease to use! It can be used for anything as simple as a datasheet, a complex sudoku game, or even a word puzzle.
Completely customizable, collapsible Accordion pane is just a few keystrokes away. Get started right away.
Tree View control is a real child’s play with Creately. Use it in your UI mock-ups to execute hierarchical data sets, folder views and other similar data structures. This is the most simple Text-driven Smart KObject from the list. Go give it a spin!

That moment, which you all (excitedly, no doubt!) waited for, is finally here! Well, folks, (drum roll) Central Desktop officially announced the availability of its new Online Diagramming feature.
Central Desktop delivers a complete Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) collaboration platform that allows business teams to communicate and collaborate online. This gets more powerful now with Creately’s integration into Central Desktop’s collaboration platform, which gives customers the ability to translate their ideas graphically. Comprehende, amigo?
In other words, users can directly create and collaborate on diagrams from right within their Central Desktop workspace to literally create anything visual. Cool, eh? For instance, users can now create professional flowcharts, org charts, pretty mind maps, interactive wireframes to include in reports, docs and wiki pages. In fact, according to Isaac Garcia (who is the CEO and co-founder of Central Desktop), this new dimension to online collaboration will help their users communicate more efficiently and improve the decision-making process.
All of Creately’s key features are available on the Central Desktop’s Online Diagrams so Central Desktop customers will be working in Creately’s fully interactive interface loaded with our extensive library of objects to create any type of diagram.
As a technology leader in the online diagramming space, Creately is proud to deliver the best diagramming capabilities to Central Desktop’s collaboration platform.
So without any further ado, take a quick glimpse at this short video, and then get creative!

Remember when you all itched for the “Collaboration” feature a year back?
Well, since then, we have launched some major user-friendly updates that make Creately an absolute superlative. As you all know innovation is part of our mantra at Cinergix (yes, we really do Share. Reuse. Innovate.), and this means that our award-winning diagramming app offers you the world minus the hassle.
Alright, alright, we hear you, enough with the marketing spiel, let’s get to the exciting part.
We got three new additions to our feature-rich arsenal that will have your diagramming juices flowing. All you need to do is, (okay wait for it, here it comes) take a glimpse below.
Being more user friendly than ever, Creately now identifies its users as Viewers and Editors. While you can share your glitzy diagrams with viewers, you can give permission to editors to make an assortment of changes on the diagrams. Also you can now choose your editors or delete them and invite collaborators via e-mail (or you can save yourself the trouble by simply clicking on the dialog box that allows you to share with the entire team). Moreover, you can enable view and/or edit links (depending on who you want to edit and/or view your diagrams), which opens up your diagrams in a super-versatile Diagram Viewer (if you want to view) or the Creately Editor (if you want to edit). Oh, almost forgot, another small but really useful detail, clicking on the Reset button will make the previous URL invalid.
If you recall, previously if you wanted to publish your diagram you needed to tap into the Share panel. However, we really did think that the publishing function needed its own space, which is why it has its own cosy corner, right below the Share panel. So, not only do you get to show your diagrams on Google and an assortment of web pages, you get a chance to get it published across Twitter, Facebook and more recently, LinkedIn.Yup. That’s one question you never need ask, ever again. Once you save, you can let everyone know what changes you made. Ensuring accountability? Check. User friendly and interactive? You know so.
There you have it, three cool additions to your favourite diagramming app that’s sure to add value and convenience in more ways than one. Stay tuned, though. Innovation is something we treasure and that’s what will fuel more exceptional features for Creately in the near future. Of course, it goes without saying that we’d love to hear from you. So once you’ve played around and had your fill with the new additions, give us a shout and let us know if we really are the best diagramming app, ever! :0)
