Online Mind Mapping - MindMeister
MindMeister is a clear mind mapper if you’re fond of the traditional view. It supports attachments and notes on each node so you can annotate your thought bubbles as you go. It has a useful wiki-like revision view, and it will color-code your collaborators’ changes in the main map. I found it both intuitive to use and capable. It’s the most well-rounded Web-based mind mapper in this roundup.
Mindmesiter has both a clean interface and strong capabilities.
And then there’s Bubbl.us, the cute little pony of mind mappers. With and extremely limited feature set, it’s very easy to learn and use. But anyone serious about mapping their thoughts will run out of gas with it rather quickly, I believe.
There are plenty of installable mind mapping tools, like MindJet, MindMap, and The Brain. There’s also an open-source app, Freemind. The commercial software apps have advantages in flexibility and speed, but the Web-based apps are less expensive (all are either free or available for a low monthly fee), and most offer much stronger collaboration features. In this category, as in many others, the Web is best the place to get started, and for many users, a Web app will offer all they need. Especially Mindmeister. It’s really worth trying. –Webware.com
