What they say:  " iMindMap(tm) - Software That Helps You Think!
Tony Buzan is the world's leading expert on the brain and is the inventor of Mind Maps(r), the thinking tool used by over 250 million people. Mind Mapping helps you to excel in every area of your life by allowing you to achieve your full mental potential. A Mind Map is a tool for any thinking task.
Whilst many products have claimed to allow you to Mind Map on a computer, none have managed to fully duplicate Tony's world renown (sic) process. Until now that is! iMindMap(tm) gives you the infinite visual variety, portability, freedom, brain friendliness and effectiveness of traditional highly proven Mind Mapping techniques.
Will run in a browser as a Java Applet. Platform specific versions are also available for the Apple Mac, Windows PC and for Linux

Edited for length from a press release:
Elements : for those who want to simply Mind Map and organise ideas;
Professional : for businesses and organisations to be creative, think and display Mind Maps;
Ultimate : fully integrated project management system ... for business proposals, brainstorming, scheduling, development and event planning."

What they say:  " Antechinus Draw Magic is a flowcharting, diagramming, and drawing program that comes with a vast set of extensible clipart libraries. Speed up your work with the ready-made solutions and sets of drawing objects."
Observations:  Looks good - a lot like a limited form of Visio (much cheaper of course). Claims to be able to draw mindmaps but they don't include one amongst the many examples. The context diagram is the closest.

Screenshot mind mapping software Text2Mindmap    
What they say:  " Text2Mindmap.com is a brand new web application that converts text to mind maps. It is still in its very first phase. For example, the text:
Months of the year
Winter
                     December
                     January
                     February
Spring
                     March
                     April
                     May
Summer
                     June
                     July
                     August
Autumn
                     September
                     October
                     November
can be converted into the mind map [shown as the screenshot]
"
Observations:  Mappio was there long ago and they converted into a mind mapping library. Their interface was a little more sophisticated and flexible. Maybe that was their downfall and Text2Mindmap will succeed for just that reason. Your starting point is an outline, so you are forced to a rigid tree hierarchy. That is a limitation.

Articles
Concept maps and web research

For me, web research and concept maps are a good pairing. As I research - I build a map. As I map - I realise new areas that need research.
This papers variously by Arguedas, Cañas, Carnot, Carvalho, Dunn, Eskridge, Gram, Leake, Maguitman, Muldoon and Reichherzer have helped me to understand why, and see other possibilities.

Assessment by concept map

This piece discusses the nature of knowledge, the difficulty in measuring achievement in the three types of domain knowledge, and how concept maps offer one way of judging students' knowledge structure.

Framework for mind mapping

Here is a link to a set of free templates for many types of mind maps. This is good solid stuff, and if you have MindManager, there's no reason not to get it.
But if you don't have MindManager, well, there's still no reason to hold back - go and pick up the MindManager Viewer from MindJet's site. That is also free.


Knowledge mapping for communities

Here's an interesting slideshow in which authors Simon Buckingham Shum and Alexandra Okada make a case for a move away from text towards knowledge or mind mapping presentation in a knowledge community. Their objective is to change cognition, no less.

Visual mapping and recession-proofing your job

It looks like businesses are in for a tough time in 2008 and beyond. If your employer downsizes, how can you take steps to make sure you're one of the survivors?
