Mind Mapping Goes 3-D With Personal Brain

Here is a nice, short overview of what PersonalBrain does and where it fits into the mind map software spectrum. If you haven’t yet, I urge you to check out PersonalBrain. It’s available for Windows, Mac and Linux and the files can move between the three os’es effortlessly. This is a great feature for people like me who use multiple operating systems.

On any operating system, PersonalBrain is one of the most sophisticated personal knowledge management tools you’ll find. It’s great for organizing bookmarks or files into an ontology of your own devising. It is probably on the same level as other mind mapping software as far as complexity and capability, but is stronger than mind mapping tools in metadata and organization of topics and not as strong in presentation.

Even the free version of PersonalBrain would be a great addition to any knowledge worker’s toolbox.

Technology News: Software: Mind Mapping Goes 3-D With Personal Brain

Called “Personal Brain,” recently released in its fourth edition, TheBrain Technologies’ latest mind mapping software is amazingly easy to use, especially considering the complexity of the tasks that it’s handling. When you create a map, you’re immediately prompted for your central thought. After you name it, it appears on your display framed in “bullets.” The bullets are called “gates.”

    Very nice demo, Brian. I made it it’s own post.
