David Appleyard reviews 9 different specialist mind mapping applications. Some are expensive, commercial solutions – others are relatively budget-friendly.

The products he reviews are:

• ConceptDraw
• Curio
• FreeMind
• iMindMap
• Mind Manager
• MindNode
• MindMap
• MindView
• MyThoughts
• XMind Pro

He writes that mind maps have become increasingly common as a way to manage a stream of thoughts, ideas and information.

While I like the idea of mind maps and have read many of Tony Buzan books, I’ve yet to use them on a project.

Have you?

If so, what was the benefit and how did you use it?
