But despite my personal reservations over the mind map hype, I do also understand that some people simply swear by them for those to whose mental makeup a traditional outliner, with its rigid hierarchy and primarily verbal logic, feels cold and restrictive, a mind map’s warm visual and associative appeal can open those same mental doors of organization using, as it were, a different key. Now, as TidBITS readers already know, my tool of choice for arranging ideas is the outliner, with variations and a mind map seems to me, at first blush, merely a variation on an outliner – and a poor one at that, distracting the eye with colors and pictures and squiggles, and crowding the hierarchy into the clutter of a single canvas. As someone who has been viewing and drawing mind maps all his life (since they are, in essence, just the kind of thing any decent teacher is constantly developing on the blackboard while talking), I was surprised to discover that someone thinks he has invented them and has even made the term "mind map" a registered trademark, and has made selling them, as a technique for remembering, learning, planning, and presentation, the basis of a big business. This is extraordinarily impressive software, proving once again that you don’t have to be a large company – in fact, it’s probably better not to be – in order to produce an application that’s original, interesting, useful, and attractive.Ī mind map is a drawing, connecting words and images that radiate ultimately from a single central idea.
