I’m adding this one to Mind-mapping.org as part of this weekend’s update, but I want to put the word out now:

Mappio – it’s at mappio.com – will take a lightly indented text file and make a mind map from it.  The text must be formatted according to some simple guidelines and the indents show structure. 

For now, the maps are limited in many ways, but it is a very interesting approach to making mind maps.  Allowing pictures and hyperlinked nodes at this early stage is cool.  There’s no privacy for maps at present, but you need to be logged in as the maker to edit the text.

Here’s a mind map of mind-mapping.org that I made (click to go to the original at Mappio):

There are some useful comments about bubble.us here: Mind Mapping Software – Fast, Free, Simple, Online.

The reviewer Dane Morgan says “But most of all I like that the maps it produces look like mind maps look in my mind.”  I would add that it’s also able to produce concept maps of a sort – a network rather than a hierarchy.

I’ve added the link to the bubbl.us review entry in the database and it will appear on the site soon.

Updated – typo correction

This weekend’s new entry to Mind-mapping.org is WiseMapping, another web-based, on-line mind mapping tool.

This is in a very early stage of development, so it would be premature to make any judgement, but it shows no distinguishing features yet.  It promises linking of documents to a map and sharing finished maps, but does not make clear if collaborative working will be supported.

I’ll be tracking progress from time to time and will keep the entry up to date.

WiseMapping guys, if you’d like to give me a heads up on the introduction of new features that would be great! V
