What they say:  " . . . an amazingly flexible program for creating, collecting, and organizing information. Give your creativity a kick start by using an application that's actually designed to help you think. . . . You can use OmniOutliner's document structure to create hierarchies of main headings and subpoints that can be expanded and collapsed, which are immensely useful when it comes to brainstorming new ideas, drilling out specifics, and lining up steps needed to get everything done. But you aren't limited to outlines - you've got multiple columns, smart checkboxes, customizable popup lists, and an über-innovative styles system at your disposal."

Screenshot mind mapping software Personal Brain; Brain EKP    
What they say:  " PersonalBrain is a software application that models the associative nature of the human mind to display information as "Thoughts" that are linked together in a single user interface. Rooted in this idea, PersonalBrain enables people to move beyond linear, hierarchical filing structures, the method most commonly imposed upon users by traditional desktop computing. Instead, with a simple drag-and-drop interface, users can create associative networks of Thoughts that reflect their way of thinking about their information. Clicking on a Thought activates its associated document, file or Web page. Users get personalized access to information from a variety of disparate sources without having to launch separate applications or dig through files and folders."
Observations:  Smart Browsing / Organizing software. Not what Buzan would call Mind Mapping, but anyone who's done mind mapping would immediately recognize the style and adapt to the Brain. I know, I've been there - used it for several years until I imported all my 'Brains' to 3D Topicscape and switched to that.

Here are the Knols on mind mapping

Here's a link to my main Knol entitled "Mind mapping". There are cross reference items on related terms as well.

I preserved it in Freezepage when Google closed down Knol.

Mindmapping for creativity

There's a lot to like in the (unrestrained!) enthusiasm this author shows for Mindmaps.   [Vic]

Mindmapping helps you be creative AND get things done

I've seen comments from people who have looked at mindmapping but never used the technique: "I never know what to do with the mindmap once I've got it." Well, here's one answer.   [Vic]

Mindmapping can remove creativity blocks

Here's a view of creativity worth reading. It mentions mindmapping only briefly but it does provide a hint to one of the ways around creative blockage. I've added one of my own at the foot.   [Vic]

Crack the barriers to creativity

Mind mapping can help with creativity – it frees you from the rigidity of lists for example – and with its visual approach stimulates alternative ways of viewing a problem. But here, Joann adds a barrage of other techniques to help you crack barriers to creativity.   [Vic]
