On-line mindmapping and concept mapping

It’s hard to keep up with the on-line tools appearing to help those of us who often like to do our thinking in a visual workspace. 

Kayuda
Today Kayuda (http://www.Kayuda.com) popped up.  This is a concept mapping tool rather than one for mindmapping and describes itself as a visual wiki. It does call itself a mind-mapping tool but not having any center, mindmappers would probably disagree.  It’s in public alpha (there’s confidence for you!).

Online info mapping is becoming a lively and interesting space now.  [Update: This is now defunct.]

Bubbl.us
First there was Bubbl.us – basic bubble-diagrams (http://bubbl.us).  Watch the spelling!  I caught myself several times with bubble.us and reported certificate problems here.  Apologies to bubbl.us.

Mindomo.com
Next came Mindomo.com (http://www.mindomo.com), a site from Romania which gives an interesting on-line mindmapping experience.

Mindmeister.com
Then we had Mindmeister (http://www.mindmeister.com), from Germany and this seems to be the slickest and most complete, especially as it is still in private Beta [update: It is now out of beta] and releasing new features periodically.  Sign up for their newsletter and you may get an invitation to the Beta.

I said “First there was Bubbl.us” but in fact long ago there was Mayomi.  It seems to have died now – its web page is a kind of open source advertising portal.
