I checked out Spinscape and saw the price structure – I’ll probably stick with Mind42 for the time being.

Another mind mapping tool that I’ve used before it Text2mindmap.com. It’s easy and convenient for impromptu brainstorm meetings. Just enter a bullet and format the text to get subnodes. The only downside is that you can’t save your mind map for future edits like you can with Mind42.

Cheers,

If the concept of mind mapping is still a bit daunting, check out the simple and stripped-down app called bubbl.us that the folks at Web Worker Daily were just playing around with. [...]

just recently i have been working with a new startup called Spinscape – http://www.spinscape.com – they were at the Web 2.0 Expo in San Fran this past April 2008.

Email me if you need an INVITE as currently it is in closed beta and only can be accessed via an invite.

The most highly developed web-based mapping tools are generally regarded to be MindMeister and Mindomo, which have features and functionality very similar to desktop mapping programs, followed closely by Comapping and Mind42. These tools have come a long way in less than 2 years, and are now approaching the capabilities of desktop-based mapping software.

One of the biggest benefits of using a web-based mind mapping tool is that, with some applications, you can share maps and collaborate more easily than you can in the desktop environment. According to a survey I did on these web-based apps last year, users rated collaboration as the number one benefit of them. Web-based map apps are also less expensive to use than desktop software (most have inexpensive subscription plans). Also, you don’t need your company IT department’s permission to use them!

On the downside, they may not appeal to “power users,” because they don’t have 100% of the features of desktop mind mapping software, nor do they handle large, complex maps as well as their desktop counterparts.

I’m now working on an up-to-date comparison chart of the major web-based mind mapping tools, which I hope to post to my blog in the next week or so. So watch The Mind Mapping Software Blog for more details.

I’ve been using this for the past 1 year and I really like it. Once you get used to the mind mapping methodology, you’ll never do any project without a mind map.

Keyboard friendly, and includes the ability to add images, notes, links, and much more. I’ve only been playing with it for awhile, but I big use I’ve seen it for (especially for web designers) is arranging your websites architecture. Helps get everything out on the table, and examine what changes need to be made. Also, Mind42 includes skype and google talk integration.
