Been a heavy user of mind mapping for some time. I use it for every project in which I’m involved.

Why? Mind mapping is a very quick way of getting information across. The fact that it’s visual appeals to many people who process information that way. And because it’s usually on one page, it’s a handy reference guide.

But mostly, mind mapping is a great way to organize your thoughts and actions. By putting together a map, you can generate an idea, define its purpose or goal, and then set out a course of action and tasks that you can refer to continually when you’re in danger of getting lost in it all.

So far I’ve used it for consulting projects (so everyone is on the same page), business planning, marketing planning, strategy formation, innovation, writing, book production, website planning –even meeting agendas and results listing. And I’m finding more uses all the time.

MindJet’s Mind Manager is the big guy on the block for mindmapping, and probably the most comprehensive, but there are many others available. Also, you can create and share mindmaps online in the open source Mindmeister, which also integrates with most of the mindmapping software out there.
Cheers
Tony Wanless

Been using it for a few years. Curio and Mindjet are my software packages of choice, for personal organization. Mindjet’s online web version and Mindmeister.com are also good online alternatives that offer easy collaboration.

I try to use Omnigraffle to do MindMaps instead of taking notes, but sometimes it’s for a group, and they prefer something that’s just text. Hey, I wonder if someone could convince Evernote to add object graphic tools…

Thanks,
