I evaluated a few and some are real nice and polished, particularly TheBrain. But most of the software packages' usability depend on the existence of the company. I was willing to shell out some money to TheBrain, until I learned that should I need to re-install the software after the company had folded I would be out of luck. Sure the assured me that they were planning to be around for a loooong time. Yeah - I have seen horses throw up (not really, but I just wanted to use that nice German saying ;-) But I just did not want to depend on a smaller company's existence to be able to read data that I need every day. Mindomo looks real nice but they also want to lock you in - pay $6 a month or you can't create and store local mind maps - there is a clear intent. I ended up using XMind (google it) which is not quite as polished but is open source and I can run the installer without the need of a company server to be up and running. 11 Feb 2010 @ 00:08 by mx @200.207.232.67 : locking in.. Merlin, yes, in especially it seems you can't use the local version without 'logging in' for which you need to be connected to the Internet. This means it can't be used in a presentation environment which has no Internet connection.. bad... of course one can export it... hmmm.. I like the ease with which it operational and viewable/zoomable.. will check out XMind.. 11 Feb 2010 @ 08:48 by Terrence Brannon @65.4.123.47 : I use freemind I agree about locking in. If a software doesnt have exports to generic interchange formats, I get the willies. I liked Mind42, but opted for Freemind [link] to do my Sant Mat Lineages map: [link] By the way, that IFA map is SWEET. 11 Feb 2010 @ 08:50 by Terrence Brannon @65.4.123.47 : maybe add IFA Foundation to Orgs I forgot that guys name. He's pretty good. 11 Feb 2010 @ 08:54 by Terrence Brannon @65.4.123.47 : ifa21.org link the facebook link is incorrect. and it should be separated from the mindmap link by a newline or a few spaces 14 Feb 2010 @ 13:20 by Terrence Brannon @74.249.7.197 : more free graphing products Interesting thread on this: [link] 12 Apr 2010 @ 16:26 by Gold Bullion @203.87.176.130 : Thanks!
