MindMeister.com - Map Your Goals

This is an ideal tool for the Tony Robbins and Jack Canfield crowd. All of the leaders in the personal success movement make a huge deal about knowing where you want to go and keep it in mind in order to get there. With MindMeister.com you can MindMap your ideas and goals, post them the internet and share them and brainstorm with friends about your plan of attack. All of this can be done for free, if you opt for the more advanced program with all of the high tech features, you can still get the service at a respectable $5 a month. And MindMeister is proud to display on its website that it was recently elected as "Best User Designed Company of the Year" by Hasso Plattner Ventures.

MindMeister brings the concept of mind mapping to the web, using its facilities for real-time collaboration to allow truly global brainstorming sessions. Users can create, manage and share mind maps online and access them anytime, from anywhere. In brainstorming mode, fellow MindMeisters from around the world (or just in different rooms) can simultaneously work on the same mind map - and see each other's changes as they happen. Using integrated Skype calls, they can throw around new ideas and put them down on "paper" at the same time.

With the entry level product being absolutely free, this site could get a lot of users hooked on using the site especially with the easy collaborations with other partners, it could be a way for the software to spread like wildfire.

Since it is free, I believe most people would go with the free software rather than paying $5 a month for the extra features.
