Mastering mind mapping can help at work.

Most people accept, I believe, that we are on the verge of recession. Maybe already in the downturn in parts of the western hemisphere. So what’s that got to do with mind mapping? Survival! I’ve just put up a few thoughts on how you can use mind mapping skills to better your chances if downsizing looms: Visual mapping and recession-proofing your job

Tip of the hat to Chuck Frey for suggesting this topic to me.

“Hands on” concept mapping

Pretty fluid, cool, and oh yeah, expensive? … once they’re past the proof-of-concept stage.

wikiWall – Stefano Baraldi’s Master’s Thesis. Projected from above. Watch it in action here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkKLLhlWm0E

And this one would catch the kiddies’ attention when they complain about having to do concept maps for homework. The Surface-like tabulaTouch.

Chuck delves into functionality of web-based mind mappers

Chuck Frey has done a comparison of the functions of some of the web based mind mapping services. Starting from Tiffany Brown’s comparison chart that I blogged about almost a year ago (here: “Valuable comparison of four web-based services“), he did a great job of updating that and adding the new kid on the block, MeadMAP as well. With Tiffany’s permission, he has now published this extended, in-depth comparison. And what’s more, you can download it free.

For each of these web apps: MindMeister, Mindomo, Mind42, Comapping and MeadMAP – he has covered over 60 features and capabilities, including an overview (versions, pricing); map formats supported; map level features; topic-level features; import options; export options; publishing options; collaboration and other features.

Combined with Mind-mapping.ORG’s price and summary information on the Nineteen web-based mind mapping applications this makes a vital addition to the information available to those needing help in making a choice.

Great job Chuck!

MeadMAP, Spinscape and a small Imindi update

New entries in the Mind-mapping.org database this week:

MeadMAP

MeadMAP is new. It inherits Comapping’s left-to-right structure. Their emphasis is on use by students and in the educational field.

Spinscape

Getting to use Spinscape is by invitation only at present. Bravely ignoring the 12 existing browser-based mind mapping applications, some of which go back to 2006, they claim in a press release that their “goal is to create the next level of mind mapping, Mind Mapping 2.0”. Not much information available at present – I’ll update the database when there is.

Imindi

I had some more information from Imindi in a comment to this blog (thanks guys), so I’ve been able to add a couple more screenshots and description to their entry in the database, but this is in private Beta, so there’s still not a lot available.
