Mind Mapping with Tony Buzan
I don't like outlines! They're boring. That thought comes to me as I organize my thoughts to write a class paper. So I'm exploring mind mapping. It's a tool that I don't know much about. Anyway, I found this great clip. Do you use mind mapping and how?




























Sandy:
Thanks for the reminder about Tony Buzan's work. I use mind mapping to break thru writer's block.
You inspired my blog this morning.

Hi Sandy, how are you?
I used mind mapping in the context of market research - to organize my thoughts and also graphically represent those.
You can try using free-mind - its a mind-mapping tool you can freely download off the net- pretty simple and intuitive.
my blog banner image happens to be a mind-map! I loved the way tony buzan talks about it.

Sandy,
Mind mapping is great. Do you or any of your readers know about an online version, like the visual thesaurus?

Do you know the Tony Buzan's thoughts about FreeMind? Considering that he has his own product to promote... I am a developer behind Mind Mapping Library (http://mappio.com) and my site supports FreeMind and MindManager maps only (well, you can upload any JPG image in read-only format)

when a line is organic (natural, not ruler straight) it is easier for the brain to accept. that's why lists don't work. they are linear. straight. dead. hope i helped.
