Screenshot mind mapping software SproutLiner    
What they say:  " Sproutliner is a free web service that helps you manage your projects and ideas (think of it as a supercharged structured to-do list). It uses some rather smashing client-side technology to make things as quick and easy as possible, without forcing you to worry about hitting 'submit' to save your precious data."
Observations:  Dated Feb 2005 but still in Beta. Kind of cool, but no control over who sees what, so if you want to keep your project confidential choose a name that's very hard to guess.
To indent, make an entry and then grab the grey dot, drag it and drop it on the intended parent entry.

What they say:  " Diagramming in your web browser without downloading additional software
Desktop application feel in a web-based diagramming solution
Add collaborators to your work and watch it grow
Link to published Gliffy drawings from your blog or wiki
Create many types of diagrams such as Flowcharts, UI wireframes, Floor plans, Network diagrams, UML diagrams, or any other simple drawing or diagram"
Observations:  Diagramming. Not specifically mind mapping but I've seen suggestions that it can be used for preparing mindmaps. What makes it interesting is that it it has an on-line option.

What they say:  " HLE Project works similarly to PiCoMap, in that you create nodes and links on a canvas; however, with HLE Project, you can associate files with the nodes, enabling you to build whole projects from one screen. HLE Project encourages students to use a variety of different learning tools - animations, concept maps, tables, paragraphs, and web resources - to build complex, multiform projects."
Observations:  Concept maps software with files linked to nodes

Articles
Visual representation of knowledge

Here are some links to articles on the visual representation of knowledge by Sigmar-Olaf Tergan, an academic leader in the field

An overview of concept mapping

This is a 1997 article by Eric Plotnick, from the ERIC Clearinghouse on Information and Technology Syracuse NY

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.
