DropMind Web Review – Part 2

MindMeister 6 Preview

Meisterlabs has just released MindMeister version 6. MindMeister is a Software as a Service for mindmapping. MindMeister claims:
“this is by far our largest – and most time-consuming – redesign since our launch in 2007”
And that’s quite noticeable! The online mindmapping solution has several new functions and the existing product has been improved a lot as well. The testers of Hypershifters are happy to see the latter, some developers forget that adding new (great) functions doensn’t really improve a buggy application. MindMeister wasn’t buggy …

iMindMap Mobile HD for iPad – review

Since some days I’m not only the owner of an iPad but also of iMindMap Mobile HD (V1.0.0) – the new mind map application from ThinkBuzan. Within just a few minutes after receiving the app the first branches were made and WOW!, this is mind mapping as Tony Buzan preaches it! Not just structuring thoughts and ideas but drawing and stimulating the right brain more than in other so called mind map tools. It is really a pleasure for the brain to see the rounding’s and automatically generated colors.
