Mind Mapping is one of the things that I was introduced to just a few years ago as a tool to develop ideas and collaborate before the advent of some of the Cloud Computing tools that have emerged. Its a really neat way to get your thoughts down, take notes, improve your learning and help you develop non linear thinking process to improve your creativity. Allowing others to participate in the creative process is a really helpful way to get feedback and to strengthen your ideas I have found. Now that being said, who needs another way to collaborate? We've got dozens of options today and most of them seem to do the same thing. Right?Well let me let you in on a little secret. There's a web-bases mind mapping tool called Mind Meister that is worth a look. Yep, its in the Cloud and it has a free as well as a paid model. I've used both and certainly prefer the paid Premium version but you can get a lot of great use out of the free version too. There's a very short learning curve to begin to create you own mind maps. Sharing them is easy too. I use a stand-a-lone product called Free Mind to work off-line and you can exchange them with the online maps. This app has nearly 9 million downloads which says something about it.
You've got to at least check it out. Its change my life and others that adopt is one of there everyday tools.
