I’ve done separate posts about two recent findings over the last couple of days: Diagramic and the filling in of a historical entry.  Time now for the remaining new items in Mind-mapping.org: Creately Creatley is a nice on-line diagram-drawing software with mind mapping as one of the type of diagrams supported.  It has a free version, and a Plus version with a rather special subscription scheme: Pay what you think it’s

Did you notice that my last post about new items in mind-mapping.org mentioned eight items but there were actually more in the database?  . . . . oh never mind. That’s because I was playing with a new entry that fitted a need I had, and chatting back and forth with its very capable developer, Wouter van Oortmerssen, as

On Mind-mapping.org this week there are four new entries in the master list - three graphical and one a related development platform. bCisive bCisive is software for business decision making and diagramming.  It supports building and communicating business cases as well as documenting the reasoning behind decisions. GenIE & SMILE GeNIe is a user-friendly development environment for graphical decision-theoretic models. It is the Windows user interface to SMILE, which is a

Some new information organizing and visualization software for you.  Things got behind as I put together the web-based mindmappers reference pages (see my post of 14th December, 2007) and continued working on the interoperability reference resource.  The web-based one is done, as previously announced here, and the interop one is approaching first publication.  But the entries for the mind mapping software database kept piling up, so I had a clear out

You know all those web-based mind mapping applications?  Well, I’ve been happily digging around for the past couple of weeks and putting all the information together and at last it’s published.  Now you can see at one web site which applications are totally free or, for the subscription ones, what you get for their free limited option. Here’s the front page: http://www.mind-mapping.org/web-based-mindmappers/ The pages show which ones are absolutely free, the costs and options for the subscription

This weekend’s update to Mind-mapping.org brings a lively and colourful new mind-mapping product, Cayra; VORG Express, a free information manager; and a development platform for throw-away web applications that revolves around a MindManager mind map. Cayra - This is an attractive program, free for now, that produces colourful maps that don’t have to represent a pure hiearchy.  It can therefore produce a limited form of concept map as well as mind maps.

The new entrants to mind-mapping.org this week are: Taonotes – a reasonably-priced outliner. Dia – free diagramming software with the ability to draw mind maps, but it has no features specifically aimed at easing mind map production.  Then again, it is free. XWiki MindMap – an add-on to XWiki that lets you introduce mind maps (made in FreeMind) to a wiki. Vic

There’s an update on the amazing status of ECCO Pro. Those with long computer memories will recall how much of a popular (almost cult) following this had soon after it was launched in 1993, with its highly customizable interface.  It’s been  on mind-mapping.org since June last year loosely under the outliners and information management categories.

New: Curio – I mentioned this project management software with mind mapping built in recently in the blog and now it’s up on mind-mapping.org. New: Free outliner Task Coach has been added. New: BrainStreamer is a task manager that includes a mind mapper. New: (Well, new to mind-mapping.org) ThinkTank a charming piece of downloadable, runnable outlining history from twenty years ago.  That cover looks strangely familiar… New: TVO (The Vim

There are some interesting additions today.  One, Rationale, is for making argument maps, and another, Pocket FreeMind, that has potential.  The author says he may later make it produce actual mind maps on pocket devices. gjots2: a simple, free jotter and outline processor for Linux, NeoMem: a free outliner that lets you define different classes of record. Rationale: A graphical tool for expressing what the makers call “Argument maps”. Pocket Freemind: A free outliner
