Mindmapping revisted

Last year at the school, mindmapping helped me in great deal to organize my thoughts to work on the cases (an avg 3 cases a day). To put those cases in perspective interms of putting important information in one cheat sheet, mindmapping software tool was a great help.

I used a tool called freemind an opensource mindmapping tool then. I knew of another tool that I thought could be a great help, The brain. The brain has been used by Kurzweil's site for a long long time and I have always been intrigued by how they display the information on their website.

Since I’m a opensource user by compulsion (can not afford these $100 software tools), I tried the tool and never used it in November 2006. Now Thebrain is free with some features removed.

I’m loving the tool.

Next step try out online mindmapping tools claims to allow collaborations.
