What they say:  " LucidChart allows users to create, collaborate on, and publish ... flowcharts, org charts, and other diagrams online.

You have complete control over the style of every block, line, and piece of text in your document. You can even upload your own images to use on your diagrams if you don't find what you need in the selection of pre-built blocks.

LucidChart makes it simple to invite any number of collaborators to work on a document, and then work on it together simultaneously. When you save your changes, everyone sees your changes immediately, and conflicts are resolved automatically.

The built-in group chat makes it easy to share thoughts as you work.

Instantly review a document's revision history to see who has changed the flowchart, what they changed, and when. You can view the document as it was at any time in the past, and even print past versions of the document to PDF.

Publish your document as a publicly-viewable web page, PDF, or image with a single click.

Save your document as a printable PDF, JPEG, or PNG to share via email or a printed copy.

Publish all or part of your flow chart as an always up-to-date image that's easy to embed in a blog or web page. When you later save changes to your document, the image in your blog or web page is automatically updated with the latest content."

Screenshot mind mapping software XWiki MindMap    
What they say:  " MindMap application allowing to view, import, export MindMaps to and from Wiki pages.
Once you install the application you can create pages that will automatically include a MindMap viewer for the first freemind attachment added to the page. You will then be allowed to import your MindMap in your Wiki and create Wiki pages for each mindmap node. You can also update your wiki from your MindMap (this will overwrite your wiki pages).

First you create a page using the 'create MindMap page' form. This will automatically include the MindMap macros and the mindmaptools macro call.
You can right away upload a freemind mindmap. You should first download freemind from the freemind web site. Premium accounts on MindMeister also allow to create freemind mindmaps.
Automatically the macro will recognize the attached mindmap and show it in the page. It will also show a menu under the mindmap:
- View MindMap Wiki Home
- Update MindMap Wiki Pages
- Delete MindMap Wiki Pages"
Observations:  This is not a mind mapping application, but allows you to include FreeMind mind maps in an XWiki.

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, CaƱas, 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?
