New at Mind-Mapping.org: iThink. iThink This is a high-end business process-modelling tool.  It allows business scenarios to be played out in simulation before disaster hits – provided that is, you can predict  suitable dynamic variables to model.  What does that mean? Well here’s an example they give: “What if you radically increased sales and marketing efforts without adding network bandwidth? Website hits and download demands would go up (good), networks

Something out of the line of regular mapping software this week: Crystal Mapping, with free or premium options. Crystal Mapping This works in concentric circles and allows each circle to be subdivided.  That produces a strict hierarchy, with each sector associated with a parent that is the sector of an inner circle that it touches.  Sectors are dynamic and accept links, notes and attachments.  Like many things, its so much

I’ve just added Middlespot to Mind-Mapping.Org.   Although it’s not exactly a mapping application, it is highly visual and supports organising information, provided it’s on the web, by clustering. Middlespot This browser-based application lets you mash together web pages you visit regularly into one big sheet and you can have many such sheets.  Each web page can be shown in thumbnail or larger sizes, moved around and arranged in clusters that

Joining Mind-Mapping.Org is an on-line diagrammer that has been around for a while: Lucidchart Lucidchart is a collaborative diagram-drawing application.  You run it from your browser and build diagrams with pre-loaded shapes and images, or with your own images that you can upload.  You can share these with others and track who made which changes. It has several pricing options: Limited free access; $5/month for an individual; or $50/month for

The latest addition to Mind-Mapping.Org is a mapping application with a formidable collection of exciting and engaging ways of presenting and visually analysing networks – or as maths buffs call them, graphs. Gephi Gephi is an interactive tool for visualizing and exploring networks and complex graphs.  ”This is a software for Exploratory Data Analysis, a paradigm that appeared in the Visual Analytics field of research”, they say.  It is free open source software.

One of today’s additions to Mind-Mapping.Org is a web site, the other a tool for web builders.  And the first is built with the second. TweetPlumb Key a search term into TweetPlumb and it will pull out recent tweets that match the term, analyse them, and show you how they are connected with extracted terms and Tweeple. See it on line here and try it with your own search terms.

Think Think is a Free Web App created using HTML5, Django, Google App Engine, and jQuery.  In Think you can create and view mind maps that are called thoughts. Touted as a mind mapping application, as can be seen from the screenshot, this supports concept mapping structures that depart from mind mapping’s hierarchical form. GraphMind GraphMind is a Drupal module (Drupal is a Content Management System).  Notable is the fact

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

These are two new web-based applications I’ve found recently and just added to mind-mapping.org. Web Sequence Diagrams If you use UML Sequence Diagrams, this very easy to use browser-based application makes it really easy to make a diagram from plain text.  You can download the diagram, or share a link to it, and even share a link to the page from which the diagram was made.  There, others can modify
