Mindmapping update
Vic commented on my post about Mindmeister, the mind mapping site I happened across the other day. He appears to know a lot about the current Mind Mapping offerings on the web and posted a number of useful alternatives for comparison - I’ve copied them in to this post as links so you can have a look for yourself if interested. Thanks Vic!
A lot of people are using MindMeister. I watch this area actively and my impression is that it’s ahead of the pack, but the pack is awfully big. Some of the alternatives are free and MindMeister’s free option runs out after a few maps, and doesn’t offer all the features.
Here’s what I know of:
bubbl.us Collaborative mind mapping (radiant format not enforced)
comapping.com :- Collaborative (but, for people who like free-format mind mapping, rigid) left-to-right mind mapping
glinkr.net :- Concept mapping and mind mapping (shared but not collaborative)
mindmaps.kayuda.com :- Collaborative mind mapping and concept mapping
mappio.com :- Unusual mind mapper where the user edits indented text to change the mind map
mapul.com :- Collaborative mind mapping with an organic flavour
mind42.com :- Collaborative mind mapping
mindmeister.com you mentioned
mindomo.com :- Collaborative mind mapping
wikimindmap.org :- Make mind maps from WikiMedia articles
wisemapping.com :- Collaborative mind mapping
webofweb.net :- Collaborative mind mappingYou can also do mindmapping with some of the Web 2.0 diagramming tools - these support mind maps:
cumulatelabs.com/cumulatedraw/ :- Collaborative diagramming – can draw mind maps and concept maps
flowchart.com :- Collaborative diagramming – can draw mind maps and concept maps
gliffy.com :- Collaborative diagramming – can draw mind maps and concept maps
thinkature.com :- Collaborative on-line whiteboard service - can draw mind maps and concept maps
