O’Reilly Network Weblogs: Mind Mapping
Hobie Swan from MindJet Software kicked off this morning’s Gnomedex with a demo of Mind Manager, a really cool mind mapping application. He demoed the software on a tablet PC, which is exactly how it should be used, because it enables quick gestures to add and organize the mind map, as well as drawings that can be added to the mind map directly. …
For those not familiar with mind maps, they are a visual technique for generating ideas and enhancing creativity. Developed by Tony Buzan, mind maps are great for brainstorming because they take advantage of the “right brain” creativity by using non-linear ideas, and graphics and drawings.

Opening up your idea generation to allow ideas to sprout in any direction, and to feel free to add color and drawings gets your creative juices flowing.
