What they say:  " Glinkr lets you create or edit your maps through the web using a simple browser. When they are made public, maps can be embedded in Web pages."
Observations:  A little cumbersome to use at present, but these are early days and no doubt it will improve. Small map working area, no matter how big your browser window.
Using Glinkr, I made a concept map of the many on-line mind-mapping, concept mapping and related diagramming sites here:

This does not seem to be a collaborative product (several users being able to edit the same map simultaneously).

What they say:  " FreeMind is a premier free mind-mapping software written in Java. The recent development has hopefully turned it into high productivity tool. We are proud that the operation and navigation of FreeMind is faster than that of MindManager because of one-click ''fold / unfold'' and ''follow link'' operations."
Observations:  In appearance this is a healthy competitor to Mind Manager, though seems a lot slower.
I found this URL: 'this little ruby script turns your boring mind-map into something colorful' http://blog.xebia.com/2007/03/31/color-up-your-mind-map/
Lots of random colors may not be that useful for identifying areas of the mind map, but you can use it if you just want to brighten things up.

Vegetable or royalty – take your pick with mindmapping

Whether you have vegetable or royal aspirations, I can confirm that you'll find mindmapping a great way of calming yourself down when you have many calls on your time, ideas buzzing round your head and objectives to meet. But it must fit your own personal style of thinking, and you must set aside the time to do it! That's how I bust stress, not by mapping out my stressful times. But we're all different, and maybe this will work for you.   [Vic]

Mindmapping to plan your life

To each individual reader, mindmap topics don't come much bigger than this -- on the personal level, anyway.   [Vic]

The mindmapping route to project-team building

This piece sets out what seems to me to be a novel use for mindmapping: Staffing a project, functional unit or department. It is a good illustration of the flexibility of the mindmapping approach. I often use mindmapping in drawing up job specifications and candidate profiles, but not quite in the way described here. I think I'll give it a try.   [Vic]

Research and mindmapping to kickstart your writing

Here is another slant on getting your writing going -- research and a dash of mindmapping.   [Vic]

Writing, come what may

There's only a brief mention of mindmapping here, but it's obviously important to the author. Anyway, to me it's a great article on getting moving with writing. I hope you find it so, too.   [Vic]
