What they say:  " Based on the usefulness and simplicity of graphical 'visual maps' (similar to what are variously called idea maps or brain maps), VisiMap Professional adds efficient data entry, automatic layout, striking presentation, powerful map structuring, manipulation, and printing features, and sophisticated document import and export facilities to create an invaluable asset that produces visual solutions to all kinds of business and personal applications."

What they say:  " MindMeister is a collaborative online mind mapping tool - you can capture your thoughts and share them instantly with friends and colleagues.
MindMeister supports all the standard features of a classic mind mapping tool - only online, and with as many simultaneous users as you like!
MindMeister brings the concept of mind mapping to the web, using its facilities for real-time collaboration to allow truly global brainstorming sessions.
Users can create, manage and share mind maps online and access them anytime, from anywhere. In brainstorming mode, fellow MindMeisters from around the world (or just in different rooms) can simultaneously work on the same mind map - and see each other's changes as they happen. Using integrated Skype calls, they can throw around new ideas and put them down on 'paper' at the same time."
Observations:  Three on-line mindmapping services burst onto the web in early 2007 and this one is streets ahead of the others. It covers a full range of mind mapping functions and allows import and export to formats that can be accepted by several mind mapping software packages. It also has iPhone and iPad apps that allow you to map on the move. If you need to collaborate while mindmapping, this is a good choice.

Screenshot mind mapping software Comapping    
What they say:  " Comapping makes collaboration easier...
Make mind maps together with your friends and colleagues - simply using your browser.
Instantly updated - collaborate in real-time
Web-based - no installation required and instant access anywhere
Easy mind mapping - a unique auto-layout technology optimizes use of the screen"
Observations:  Strict hierarchy style of mind maps. The main node must be on the left and the sub-nodes always branch out to the right. Opening the sample map makes your browser window fill the screen. Nice re-sizing options when you change the window size, but the rigidity of layout is not what I look for in mind mapping software.
There is a desktop version based on Adobe Air.

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?
