Seems we have a sudden little clump of posts about mind mapping that’s developed out of the blue. A comment by Mark Welker on a post a few days ago led me to MindMeister, a really powerful online mind mapping facility.
The demo video below is especially valuable, as it so clearly illustrates just how mind maps are put together. And one can begin to see the potential power of mind mapping.
Personally, I find it difficult to do in isolation. On the other hand, I was first introduced to mind mapping many years ago in settings that were exploring collaborative creative thinking. At the time, I found the technique provocative and exciting. And the Mindmeister demo calls special attention to the collaboration features of the application.
In another recent post, reference was made to the iPad as a potential ideal platform for mind mapping and to a new application that’s in development. Well, MindMeister is already available for the iPhone and iPad, probably making it useable on the iPad right out of the box. That application is available at the iTunes Store. One commenter at the store wrote a longish review, pointing out that MindMeister may be the first mind mapping application for the iPhone — but I cannot vouch for that myself.
Certainly some of you writers will want to bookmark this tool for potential use on future projects. By the way, MindMeister maintains a blog that focuses on its application — a good supplement to the more general Mind Mapping Blog.
