Main Page. List of concept- and mind-mapping software. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Concept mapping and mind mapping software is used to create diagrams of relationships between concepts, ideas, or other pieces of information. It has been suggested that the mind mapping technique can improve learning and study efficiency up to 15% over conventional note-taking.[1] Many software packages and websites allow creating or otherwise supporting mind maps. File format[edit] Using a standard file format allows interchange of files between various programs. Free and open-source[edit] The following tools comply with the Free Software Foundation's (FSF) definition of free software.
Freeware[edit] The following is a list of notable concept mapping and mind mapping applications which are freeware and available at no cost. Proprietary software[edit] The table below lists pieces of proprietary commercial software that allow creating mind and concept maps. See also[edit] References[edit] Twitter integration comes to the world of mind mapping software via MindTweet. Twitter intergration has finally come to the world of mind mapping software, thanks to CS Odessa’s new MindTweet plug-in for ConceptDraw MINDMAP 7. This new tool enables you to brainstorm, organize and send Twitter messages from within the program. MindTweet is available from the ConceptDraw Solution Park; it’s a free download.
The app installs a new Twitter icon in the program’s main toolbar. Before you can use MindTweet, you must login to your Twitter account and authorize the app to communicate with it. Once that’s done, all you have to do is select a topic in your mind map, click on the Twitter icon and a dialog box pops up, containing the text of your tweet. It also displays the number of characters left out of the 140 maximum that Twitter allows. This app is the ultimate in simplicity. If your job involves managing social media for your organization, it’s a godsend. I’ve been using Twitter for several years now. A few shortcomings. DropMind makes impressive debut on the iPad. Seavus, the developers of DropMind mind mapping software and a corresponding web application, recently expanded its family of mind mapping applications with the launch of a DropMind app for the Apple iPad. Here’s what’s notable about this new app: Seamless synchronization: As you would expect, this new app syncs seamlessly with your online repository of DropMind maps.
I love to see this kind of integration, because realistically, a mind map you create on the iPad will be developed further elsewhere. DropMind for iPad enables you to view the maps you have stored locally as well as those in your web account, and to work with them regardless of their location. That’s the way it should be! There is no doubt in my mind that mind mapping apps that synchronize files to a corresponding web app or the cloud (a file storage and backup service like Dropbox) are going to have a big advantage in the years ahead versus those that only allow you to e-mail files to yourself and others.
