What they say[edit]
“See information on current version, renamed as IdeaTreeLive
IdeaTree is about finding the best idea, not just the idea of the most dominant personality. It’s a flowchart for ideas, a visual wiki, a group concept mapper. And it’s dirt-simple to use.
Think of it as back-of-the-napkin brainstorming, shared worldwide. 1) Arrange your ideas on a global tabletop in the form of websites, audio, slides… 2) show how they relate… 3) remove psychological inhibitors, and gain a 40% improvement in number of ideas generated.
IdeaTree sits at the convergence of concept mapping, blogging, and social bookmarking. Being web-based, no installation is necessary.
