Cool Tools: MindMeister mindmapping tool

Pimp Your Work

I love mind maps. They’re straightforward, practical, and easy to understand.  I love mindmapping tools as well, which is why I thought I’d take a look at MindMeister, an online mindmapping service.

With the use of this online mind mapping tool, collaborators need not be on the same room anymore. My favorite feature is that collaborators see each other’s modifications in real time.

Creating a new mind map is a point-and-click affair. The interface is user-friendly and clutter-free.  For collaborative work, each member must have a MindMeister account and must be invited by the one who initiated the mind map. Once everyone is viewing the same mind map, collaboration can begin. Each person has a designated color, which makes it easy to distinguish who made which changes.

If you need to continue working on a mind map even without an internet connection, Mindmeister offers an offline version. If mind mapping is your cup of coffee and you need to do it online, be sure to check out Mindmeister.

Registration is free for the first month, and during the trial period, all premium member features (except for the SSL) is activated.

MindMeister is compatible with most web browsers.
