There is value in being able to encourage readers to explore your blog. With mind mapping software, I can easily brainstorm using previous topics as fodder.  Photo by d’arcynorman

Usually, I use FreeMind, the open source solution. FreeMind has a fatal flaw in my mind that unfortunately may not get fixed until the next release. The program has a tendency to hang up, not an option when you’re brainstorming. Introducing MindVisualizer to the rescue.

MindVisualizer is a slick,fast application. No Java here, folks. Although it is paid software, it is cheaper than most, coming in for at $79. I liked the extensive help files that open on initial startup. Very helpful. I was up and mapping in no time.

The best part of the application for me is that it is available as a portable application. Since I use the software on more than one computer, it was important for me to work with one program, one set of files.

Of course, there are ways to make FreeMind portable. However, the necessity of Java and all its annoying update reminders puts me in a new mindset. Hear! Hear for MindVisualizer!
