Mind Mapping in Web 2.0

with 10 comments

I love to scribble on a piece of paper to organize my thoughts. I actually keep a drawing book handy and use that any time I am thinking up a strategy. My mind maps are not as organized as many tools can create, but they do the job! But if you need to share your ideas with someone else, you need something better than just pen and paper! Here are a few tools that can help you capture and map yours and your buddies ideas in a “beautiful” way!

And of course, you can use so many desktop mind mapping tools if you wish, including FreeMind. You may also want to check out the Mind Mapping blog.

  1. Mind mapping is a very effective exercise. I have been using Freemind for about 2 months now and it’s the best way to keep all your thoughts in one place and take a look when you have the right time to explore those hidden ideas.

    Although once the map is flooded anybody else taking a look at it can get scared of the complexity it shows. But anybody who uses Mind Maps – for them it’s a great tool to read.

  2. Well, you know I had the same problems with complex map. Other people had a difficult time to review because of scrolling left to right and up and down. But one called Comapping I found quite interesting. It uses a left to right mind mapping technique and developed in such a way that one does not have to use scrolling at all. I tested it with some collegues and they had far time easier getting and overview of a mind map in the comapping application. Its more intuitive for people to understand especially if they dont know mind mapping.

  3. Good list. It’s especially useful to be able to work on a mind map with colleagues in different cities. It’s worth mentioning that Kayuda can do concept maps as well as mind maps.

    There’s a few more browser-based applications that do mind mapping, concept mapping, diagramming or make outlines

    Outliners___________________________
    sproutliner.com Basic on-line outliner that lets you share outlines
    thinkfold.com Collaborative on-line outlining application

    Information mapping_________________
    bubble-mind.com Collaborative mind mapping
    glinkr.net Concept mapping and mind mapping (shared but not collaborative)
    mapul.com Collaborative mind mapping with an organic flavour
    mind42.com Collaborative mind mapping
    touchgraph.com URL mind maps for network visualisation
    webofweb.net Collaborative mind mapping
    writemaps.com Web-site hierarchical maps

    Generic diagramming__________________
    cumulatelabs.com/cumulatedraw/ Collaborative diagramming – can draw mind maps and concept maps
    imaginationcubed.com Collaborative diagramming – can (just about) draw mind maps and concept maps

    In a slightly different vein, I really like wikimindmap.org, it will make mind maps from a chosen WikiMedia article.

  4. I’ve been using mindmaps and trying out software for years. Nothing has beaten pen and paper so far, but some of these on the list look very promising! :)

    Thanks for posting.

  5. Haris, I agree with you – there is nothing better than pen and paper. Infact I support my Freemind usage with a little black pocket diary which takes care of my random thoughts and ideas. However I think a digital mind mapping is useful especially to keep the thoughts connected in one context and also let’s not forget digital makes it easy to share across the group.

  6. Thank you very much for posting this information. I am currently working to develop an entrepreneurial network to share/develop ideas with some friends and colleagues. I have reviewed these sites and they will be extremely helpful. I particularly like Thinkature, however it is a bit slow to start. Gliffy is pretty cool as well.
