Mind map: Objet d’art

July 23rd, 2008 | by emontero |

I love mind maps! Ok, maybe that was an overstatement (I usually get carried away when I’m excited). I do think mind maps are an elegant, straightforward manner to easily convey seemingly-complicated ideas and concepts. I was totally elated when I ran into Mindmeister.com, a site that allows you to create and share your mind maps with the online community.

Take a look at one of the public maps submitted by one of the site’s members (What Smart Students Know – 12 Principles):

If you have never tried out mind maps, make sure you do so the next time you are explaining any new subject to a novice. I have noticed complicated subjects tend to be easier to grasp when you present them with the help of graphic elements. A picture is worth a thousand words, right?

    I’ve been using this http://www.mindomo.com/ for a while. I think it’s superior in some ways to the one you’re posting, elvis. Granted yours looks a bit simpler to use but I would still prefer mindomo.

    @VigGee,

    Sure thing!

    @Eduardo,

    Mindmono does look awesome. However, I think Mindmeister’s simplicity is just “badass”. :-)

    Thanks for your comments!
