I have just added an online chart maker and a mind map building component for developers to mind-mapping.org. DIY Chart DIY (Do it yourself) Chart is a web-based tool that lets users make charts from static or dynamic data.  It operates on-line and responds dynamically to changes in the data, without a need to reload the web page.  These are just a few of the chart-styles available: The charts/graphs can be generated using

tiffany b. brown (her lower-case) has a thorough comparison of four of the popular new on-line mind mapping services, MindMeister, Mind42, Comapping and Mindomo. http://tiffanybbrown.com:80/2007/07/02/online-mind-map-services/ She provides a narrative discussion of each and a useful comparison table that covers the technologies, costs, features and compatibility with other software. Well worth a visit. Vic

There’s a new on-line concept mapping tool – Glinkr.  It’s a little cumbersome to use at present, but these are early days and there’s no reason to think it won’t improve.  But I have a 24″ screen because I do a lot of mind mapping, modelling and diagramming, and this product confined me to one small rectangle when editing the map.  I hope they’ll open up the workspace soon. With luck,

After fussing over the new blog, I had time to catch up with some of the new entries I’ve been accumulating recently (more to come).  The current trend is still mainly for on-line, browser based services. Cumulate Draw -=-  Free on-line diagrammer.  Could be used for mindmaps but not designed for that.  A poor-man’s MS Visio, perhaps? SproutLiner -=-  Free on-line outliner.  No security for your outlines (no log in) if
