At this moment a lot of hypershifter members are evaluating it and we get nice comments about its useability. In general mindmapping tools that include task management are very suitable to use in projects and meetings. This also holds true for MindMeister.

I posted a 10 minute tutoral on our YouTube channel that shows how you can use the special features of MindMeister in meetings and task management.

I hope this video will inspire you and bring on ideas how you can use MindMeister in your own environment.

Happy hypershifting

Ton Meeuwissen
