A mind map combines both the power of a picture with the suggestion of words. You may have seen mind maps, but you may not have known the name for them. Sometimes they look like clusters of bubbles; other times, like elaborate tree structures. Because mind mapping has been connected with business brainstorming, much of the early software for creating the diagrams carried a relatively heavy price tag. However, with the arrival of Web-based applications and open source software, it's now easy to take the practice for a spin without dispersing a cent.

There are other web-based mindmapping services:
http://www.kayuda.com (describe themselves as mindmapping but closer to concept mapping) and http://www.mindmeister.com which just came out of Beta.
They're all useful, just so long as you don't use them for confidential product or business planning!
