Mindmapping

What is mind mapping

Short answer: A very useful image based method for brainstorming.

However, this short answer only covers a fraction of what mind42 is about. And of course there is a more precise description of mind mapping available at Wikipedia.

Mind mapping is about collecting ideas arranged in a tree like diagram. From a programmers point of view, the creation of such diagrams requires graphical processing. As web browsers weren't able to do graphical processing for a long time, such applications only existed as classical desktop applications which had to be installed. But times have changed, computers got faster and browsers became more powerful. Mind42 is one of the first solutions for mind mapping which is a pure web application - with all its advantages. No installation required - accessable everywhere!

Being a web application, mind42 enables another interesting feature realizable on the web: collaboration. Brainstorming is no single user activity - the more people take part in a brainstorming session, the better the results will be. When using mind42, every participant of a brainstorming session has an immediately updated view onto all the already collected ideas.
