Gliffy User of the Month
For our first Gliffy User of the Month, we couldn’t limit ourselves to just one person,
so we picked an entire class!
Frank D’Onofrio, a math teacher from Mississauga, Canada writes:
“several of my grade 12 math students have used Gliffy to make
fantastic flowcharts for the class wiki on Data Management. I think
all of these students should be considered Gliffy User of the Month!
If you don’t believe me, go to
http://mdm4u1.wetpaint.com and check out the wiki.”
Thanks Frank! We’re very impressed. Here are some of the interesting
ways Frank’s class is using Gliffy:
Great stuff! Have you created a drawing you are particularly proud of?

Hi,
I am a sr systems arhictect, and i really , really want to use gliffy, as web apps and finding the best and most useful for mobile users such as myself, mobile meaning travelling not cdma/mobile style :>
Anyway, I have used Gliffy to create diagrams explaingin basic ea and eai architecture, as well light -weight business process, i will send an image soon..
I am wondering if there is anyway to….of if i can ….add the blue cisco icons to gliffy….
i gotta tell ya the only thing holding me to visio is that, i cna add my own blue cisco icons, and if u havent seen them, most clients lvoe the look of them, and as an tech guy, they look kinda cool,
i hope someone responds to this comment.
Other than that thank you for the best free tool to come out since bloggin and email…

Hi Tony,
Thanks for the note. I’m not exactly sure what you mean by the “Blue Cisco Icons”, but I’ll look into it. We just added a new feature to hosted Gliffy where you can upload any image you want, and use it in a diagram. Maybe that will help you?
Again, thanks for you comment.
