Don’t miss the chance to participate in Chuck’s research. The results will be immensely useful and interesting.
Please participate in my new survey of web-based mind mapping tools
To better understand how people are utilizing these tools and what the potential impact of this type of online tool is likely to be, I’ve decided to conduct a brief survey on this technology.
There’s a new beta of PersonalBrain available. It seems to provide some significant improvements in speed and reliability and a bit more configurable of a user interface.

This is nice to have at a higher level of geekery. Now you can have all of your to do items from all of your mind maps exported instantly into a format that is understood by org-mode, a fantastic organizer that runs in Emacs.

The latest version of this handy utility, available in our Tools section, formats the output a bit more nicely & lets you specify a list of files to ignore.
Great news. The existing version of NovaMind for Windows is the best hand-drawn / artistic mind map analog I’ve seen yet. Not only do they design great software, but all of the dealings I’ve had with NovaMind sales and support so far have been a pleasure.
