Default Mind Maps... - 06-26-2006, 03:09 PM

I ran across this interesting mind map while going thru my morning perusal of favorite financial sites & blogs. This comes from Barry Ritholz's "Big Picture" Blog found at:

http://bigpicture.typepad.com/

It's titled : Software Wars:

It's an interesting use of a mind map vis a vis -- "The Evil Empire of Microsoft."

You can find it at the link below:

Martin

PS: Can anyone recommend any mind mapping software that they are using and are happy with? Perhaps a quick review commentary... pluses and minuses...ease of use etc.

Thanks

I have FreeMind -- which is, er, "free."

cool tool

and

MS Visio -- which came with my MS Office 2003 package

both equally useful.

Though, I continually catch myself reaching for a yellow note pad instead of booting my software. Old habits die hard.

After trying a couple of others, I settled on FreeMind. Yeah, it's free, but it's also very easy to use. Great for brainstorming.

If I would have time, I'd post some of the new ones
I have.

Like Gary Bencivenga's seminar.

Just kidding.

Can't share that one.

But I have lots more .....

Now that you mention it, JP, I think that's where I found out about it, too - from Michel. He's a useful sort of chap, isn't he?
