Mapyourinfo is an on-line application for exploring Wikipedia through mind maps. It can do a creditable job of mapping a topic from a Wikipedia page, pulling the structure from the section headings and levels, much as WikiMindMap does.

It seems that once it did more, allowing you to upload your own FreeMind maps, but that does not work now.

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

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

Three new items at mind-mapping.org this week: cKM, NodeXL and Twiddla Collaborative Knowledge Management (cKM) cKM is a concept mapper that works in Second Life.  It’s aimed at enterprises engaged in collaborative knowledge creation.  Its price places it well out of the reach of the casual user, but it is not hard to see it being valuable in the hands of a creative far-flung team. NodeXL NodeXL is a freebie from Microsoft

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

New at Mind-mapping.org this week: Google Wonder wheel Shows search-result topics as a simple information map, with the usual detailed search results alongside.  To use it, search on your chosen term. Just above the results (and probably ads), you’ll see a link + Show options…  Click on that and select Wonder wheel from the list on the left hand side.  Click on the text on the wheel’s spokes to expand

It’s been a month since the last update to mind-mapping.org, and the list of items to add has built up more sharply than usual so I decided it was time to clear the decks.  Apart from anything else, iPhone is keeping mindmappers busy with low-cost software to play with and there’s a new and imaginative application appearing every few days it seems. Cohere Cohere is a browser based collaborative visual thinking tool

New on mind-mapping.org this week, there are even more new, browser-based mind-mapping apps, and some bits and pieces of news about other events. Ekpenso Ekpenso* is a new, web-based mind mapping application in the first stages of development, but they are offering off-line use with Google Gears from the get go. * Footnote: According to their web site, “Ekpenso” is Esperanto for idea or thought.  Not a lot of people know that… Mindjet

New on mind-mapping.org this week are three map-related tools: C-TOOLS, CharTr and Mind2Chart.  And two that have been updated - VUE and MindVisualizer. C-TOOLS C-TOOLS is a server / web based combination for making concept maps in an educational environment.  It even has an automated mark-students’-work-as-you-go capability. CharTr It’s early in the life of this project but it is making progress. Mind2Chart Not a mind mapping product, but an add-on for

Chuck Frey has done a comparison of the functions of some of the web based mind mapping services.  Starting from Tiffany Brown’s comparison chart that I blogged about almost a year ago (here: “Valuable comparison of four web-based services“), he did a great job of updating that and adding the new kid on the block, MeadMAP as well.  With Tiffany’s permission, he has now published this extended, in-depth comparison.  And what’s more, you can
